MASTICATORY EFFICIENCY AS CRITERION OF ESTIMATION OF FUNCTIONAL STATE OF DENTOALVEOLAR SYSTEM

Український стоматологічний альманах, 2018
Masticatory efficiency is one of the most important problems of human’s dental health. It was improved available masticatory tests in modern conditions resulted in the combination of up-to-date in- edible materials use with the facilities of computer

Does malocclusion affect masticatory performance?

The Angle orthodontist, 2002
This purpose of this study was to evaluate the largely untested assumption that malocclusion negatively affects masticatory performance. A sample of 185 untreated subjects (48% male and 52% female) from 7 to 37 years of age, representing subjects with normal occlusion (n = 38), Class I (n = 56), Class II (n = 45), and Class III (n = 46) malocclusion ...

Preliminary Resin Infiltration of Hypomineralised Enamel for Posterior Indirect Adhesive Restoration: An Innovative Approach

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypomineralised enamel presents a significant challenge for resin bonding due to its altered mechanical and structural properties. Our innovative clinical approach of resin infiltration prior to the bonding of a posterior indirect adhesive restoration aims to preserve dental tissues, reduce post‐operative sensitivity, and strengthen the ...

Limitations of a morphological criterion of adaptive inference in the fossil record [PDF]

, 2015
Experimental analyses directly inform how an anatomical feature or complex functions during an organism's lifetime, which serves to increase the efficacy of comparative studies of living and fossil taxa.

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Performance and Maximum Functional Masticatory Force in Patients with Dentomucosal-supported and Implant-supported Removable Partial Dentures

Revista Cubana de Estomatología
Introduction: Due to edentulousness, masticatory performance and masticatory force decrease, which implies a disorganization and decompensation of the stomatognathic system with forces provoked by mastication, which are distributed in the bone through ...

Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible

Boreas, EarlyView.
Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...

Fossil bears break free from inhibitory cascade constraints at least twice (Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri) caused by dietary adaptations

Boreas, EarlyView.
Bears deviate from the inhibitory cascade model (ICM) during molar size evolution, with two significant deviations linked to changes in diet: Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri. Many bears exhibit a ‘partial ICM’, highlighting the relationship between relative molar size, dietary adaptations and dental development across different species.

Digital dissection of the masticatory muscles of the naked mole-rat, Heterocephalus glaber (Mammalia, Rodentia) [PDF]

, 2014
The naked mole-rat, Heterocephalus glaber, of the family Bathyergidae is a subterranean rodent that feeds on underground roots and tubers and digs extensive tunnel systems with its incisors.
