Mandibular bone effects of botulinum toxin injections in masticatory muscles in adult [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Botulinum toxin (BTX) is injected into masticatory muscles to treat various conditions. Animal studies have demonstrated bone loss at the condylar and alveolar regions of the mandible after BTX injection into masticatory muscles.

Functional evolution of the feeding system in rodents [PDF]
The masticatory musculature of rodents has evolved to enable both gnawing at the incisors and chewing at the molars. In particular, the masseter muscle is highly specialised, having extended anteriorly to originate from the rostrum.

Modeling and Simulation of Masticatory Muscles
AbstractMedical simulators play an important role in helping the development of prototype prostheses, pre-surgical planning and in a better understanding of the mechanical phenomena involved in muscular activity. This article focuses in modeling and simulating the activity of the jaw muscular system. The model involves the use of three-dimensional bone

Insomnia impairs muscle function via regulating protein degradation and muscle clock [PDF]
Background: Insomnia makes people more physically unable of doing daily duties, which results in a lack of strength, leads to lacking in strength. However, the effects of insomnia on muscle function have not yet been thoroughly investigated. So, the objectives of this study were to clarify how insomnia contributes to the decrease of muscular function ...

Unilateral fibroadipose degeneration of the masticatory muscles
Abstract A unique case of fatty replacement of the masticatory muscles, causing progressive limitation of mouth opening, is presented. Both CT and MRI revealed an almost total substitution of the masticatory muscles with fatty tissue, confirmed by the histopathology at surgery.
