Efficacy of Myofascial Release Therapy and Related Soft‐Tissue Techniques for Pain in Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 53, Issue 10, Page 1972-1984, October 2026.
This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of myofascial release therapy (MFR) for pain management in patients with myogenous temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Seven randomized controlled trials involving patients diagnosed according to RDC/TMD or DC/TMD criteria were included.

chewR: An Open‐Source R Package for Quantifying Masticatory Performance With Applications in Oral Processing Research

Journal of Texture Studies, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Masticatory performance is a functional measure of oral physiology that may affect food breakdown and/or eating behavior. Existing methods are labor intensive or require proprietary software; here we describe a new open‐source package, chewR, to measure masticatory performance.

Three‐Dimensional Assessment of Upper Airway Morphology and Sleep‐Disordered Breathing Risk in Unilateral Craniofacial Microsomia: A Pilot Study

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 926-936, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Unilateral craniofacial microsomia (UCM) presents varying unilateral deficiencies of the temporomandibular joint, mandibular ramus, masticatory muscles, and adjacent soft tissues and ear. Reduced mandibular and maxillary dimensions may decrease upper airway volume and may increase the risk of sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB).

Finite element analysis of feeding in red and gray squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris and Sciurus carolinensis)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2476-2486, September 2026.
Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2411-2423, September 2026.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Variation in parrot jaw musculature

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2519-2533, September 2026.
Interspecific morphological differences in some superficial jaw muscles of parrots. Abstract Psittaciformes, the order encompassing parrots and their relatives, are highly diverse and generally known for having a strong beaks used for multiple behaviors. The muscles related to the masticatory apparatus should reflect this functional complexity; however,
