Effects of short-term acupuncture treatment on occlusal force and mandibular movement in patients with deep-bite malocclusion

open access: yesJournal of Dental Sciences, 2019
Background/purpose: Acupuncture is well known to be effective for pain relief and muscle relaxation, and hence it is feasible that acupuncture treatment could change the occlusal forces and mandibular movements in subjects with deep-bite malocclusion ...

Lack of correlation between mouth-breathing and bite force [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The correlation between mouth-breathing and bite force was studied in 81 children, 7 to 16 years old. Mouth-breathing was diagnosed on the basis of the subject history, the rhinomanometrically determined nasal airflow and the size of the airway measured ...

Effects of chewing exercise on the maximum biting force and chewing performance.

open access: yesJapanese Journal of Oral Biology, 1989
Maximum biting force and chewing performance were measured in adult subjects before and after four-weeks training by newly devised "Chewing Ability Enhancing Substances (CAES)". The CAES is made of glucomannan. The number of chewing strokes and chewing time until the last swallowing action are much larger when chewing CAES than those of other usual ...

Experimental Evaluation of 100Cr6 Steel Microindented Surfaces Under Lubricated Nonconformal Point Contacts

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.

Form-function relationships in dragonfly mandibles under an evolutionary perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
© 2017 The Author(s). Functional requirements may constrain phenotypic diversification or foster it. For insect mouthparts, the quantification of the relationship between shape and function in an evolutionary framework remained largely unexplored.
