Investigating the maximum bite force and speech intelligibility in patients requiring prosthetic rehabilitation

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Tooth loss leads to reduced occlusal contact area, altered jaw biomechanics, and diminished neuromuscular coordination, impairing both masticatory function and speech clarity. Edentulous patients often adapt by modifying food choices or swallowing behavior and may experience persistent phonetic disturbances.

Analysing the type of chewing of children in a removable bite according to an electromyographic examination

Известия высших учебных заведений. Поволжский регион: Медицинские науки
Background. The mechanism of bite formation depends on the speed and intensity of chewing ability, functional activity of the masticatory or temporal muscles.

Soft‐Tissue Integration of Dental Implants: Formation, Maintenance, and Relevance for Peri‐Implant Health

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Sixty years after the introduction of dental implants, it is clear that soft‐tissue integration is as essential as osseointegration. This review outlines how peri‐implant soft tissues develop, protect, and sometimes fail, revealing key knowledge gaps and new opportunities to improve long‐term implant stability.

Electromyography Frequency Spectrum Is a Better Indicator of Sleep Bruxism Severity Related to Temporomandibular Disorder Pain Than Conventional Masticatory Muscle Activation and Bruxism Time Indices—A Pilot Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep bruxism (SB) has been reportedly associated with temporomandibular disorder (TMD); however, solid evidence is lacking. Previous studies have primarily used traditional metrics, such as the masticatory muscle activity (MMA) index and bruxism time index (BTI) to investigate the link between SB and TMD.

Masticatory Muscle Function

, 1998
The aim of this electromyographic study was to obtain insight in the normal function of the lateral pterygoid muscle and its relation to other masticatory muscles in test persons with a normal masticatory system.The lateral pterygoid muscle consists of two heads: a superior head and a larger inferior head.

The Effects of Dietary Loading on Chondrocytes Transdifferentiation During Postnatal Maxillary Growth

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The mid‐palatal suture is a key growth site for transverse maxillary expansion, yet the cellular mechanisms governing its postnatal development and response to mechanical loading remain poorly defined. This study investigated the contribution of chondrocyte‐derived osteogenesis to maxillary bone formation and the influence of ...
