Association of physical function with masticatory ability and masticatory habits: a cohort study

open access: yesBMC Oral Health
Background Few studies have evaluated masticatory ability and habits in relation to physical function. This study aimed to investigate the association of physical function with both masticatory ability and masticatory habits. Methods In this cohort study,

MANDIBULAR SHAPE IN MYOSTATIN-DEFICIENT MICE: A GEOMETRIC MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The relationship between muscle function and mandibular morphology is unclear. Manipulating the size or function of muscle and then observing the effect on adjacent bone is one way to explore this relationship.

Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Presence of smooth muscle continuous with the rectal and vaginal walls in the deep perineal space prompts reconsideration of the deep transverse perineal muscle

open access: yesScientific Reports
The deep transverse perineal muscle was considered a striated muscle within the deep perineal space; however, recent studies suggest that it consists of smooth muscle.

Method of Retention Control for Compromised Periodontal Bone Support Abutment of Conical Crown Retained Denture

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2010
Conical crown-retained dentures (CCRD) show a higher survival rate and greater patient satisfaction than transitional removable partial dentures during long-term follow-up.

Morphological evolution of the mammalian jaw adductor complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The evolution of the mammalian jaw during the transition from non-mammalian synapsids to crown mammals is a key event in vertebrate history and characterised by the gradual reduction of its individual bones into a single element and the concomitant ...

3D bioprinting in oral and craniomaxillofacial tissue regeneration: Progress, challenges, and future directions

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This paper summarized the application of 3D bioprinting in the regeneration of various tissues in the oral and craniomaxillofacial fields, including the required biomaterials and printing techniques. Abstract Oral and craniomaxillofacial tissues are essential for maintaining oral functions, including respiration, mastication, swallowing, and speech ...

Human mandibular shape is associated with masticatory muscle force [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Understanding how and to what extent forces applied to the mandible by the masticatory muscles influence its form, is of considerable importance from clinical, anthropological and evolutionary perspectives. This study investigates these questions.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
