Computational simulation of cranial soft tissue expansion on the cranium during early postnatal growth in humans

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We use computer simulations of soft tissue growth to investigate the role of simple physical deformation in the development of the postnatal human cranium. We found that simulated expansion of the model endocranial volume resulted in cranial shape changes consistent with those seen in a normative early postnatal sample, using Procrustes analyses.

Prevalence assessment of bruxism and clenching by considering oral- temporomandibular signs in patients of clinics of Isfahan city

مجله دانشکده دندانپزشکی اصفهان, 2008
Introduction: As bruxism and clenching are important parafunctional habits that cause disorders in masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and many patients are unaware of these parafunctions, this study was done to evaluate prevalence of ...

Modelling marsupial mastication: The biomechanical bite model of the Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina (Marsupialia, Didelphidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The marsupial masticatory apparatus has rarely been studied until recently, mainly in Australasian species. We therefore reconstructed the maximum bite forces of the South American Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina using in vivo bites, specimen dissections, and 3D static equilibrium of the jaw muscles.

The role of masticatory muscles in the continuous loading of the mandible

Journal of Anatomy, 2011
Muscles are considered to play an important role in the ongoing daily loading of bone, especially in the masticatory apparatus. Currently, there are no measurements describing this role over longer periods of time. We made simultaneous and wireless in vivo recordings of habitual strains of the rabbit mandible and masseter muscle and digastric muscle ...

How is the third jaw joint in whales different? Diverse modes of articulation between the jaws of whales

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study conducts the first comprehensive morphological investigation of the mandibular symphysis in whales. Using gross anatomical observation and CT cross‐sectional data, we describe diverse joint morphologies across 74 extant and fossil cetacean taxa. Toothed whales exhibit unfused, partially fused, or fully fused symphyses.

Mandibular Bone Loss after Masticatory Muscles Intervention with Botulinum Toxin: An Approach from Basic Research to Clinical Findings

Toxins, 2019
The injection of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) in the masticatory muscles, to cause its temporary paralysis, is a widely used intervention for clinical disorders such as oromandibular dystonia, sleep bruxism, and aesthetics (i.e., masseteric ...

The Relation Between Daytime Sleepiness and Awake and Sleep Bruxism Report in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
The present study enlightens the relevant issue that sleep disturbances may influence the onset of awake bruxism. Indeed, self‐reported awake bruxism, showing a significant correlation with daytime sleepiness, could be a sign of underlying tiredness and sleepiness in individuals with OSA.

Factors Influencing Adherence to Therapy With Occlusal Splints—A Multicentre Questionnaire Based Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Brief graphical summary with the main study results. ABSTRACT Background Occlusal splints are an established treatment option for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and for preventing the consequences of bruxism. However, the effectiveness of this therapy relies on the patient's adherence influenced by various factors.

Impact of a Mindfulness‐Based Intervention on Pain and Psychological Factors in Women With Chronic Painful Temporomandibular Disorders

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effects of a mindfulness‐based intervention (MBI) on women aged 18–61 with chronic pain related to temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Eighty‐four participants were randomised into an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). The IG received 8 weekly 2‐h MBI sessions plus a 4‐h immersion.

Automated Assessment of Test of Masticating and Swallowing Solids Using a Neck‐Worn Electronic Stethoscope: A Pilot Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the feasibility of a semi‐automated assessment of the Test of Masticating and Swallowing Solids using a neck‐worn electronic stethoscope, which detects swallowing actions through deep learning‐based analysis of sound data collected from the back of the neck. ABSTRACT Background The Test of Masticating and Swallowing Solids (TOMASS)
