• Jaw closing movement and sex differences in temporomandibular joint energy densities

  22 novembre 2017, par L. M. Gallo, N. Fankhauser, Y. M. Gonzalez, H. Liu, Y. Liu, J. C. Nickel, L. R. Iwasaki
  Energy densities (ED, mJ/mm3) quantify mechanical work imposed on articular cartilages during function. This cross-sectional study examined differences in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ED during asymmetric versus symmetric jaw closing in healthy females versus males. ED component variables were (...)

• Short-term changes in chewing efficiency and subjective evaluation in normal dentate subjects after insertion of oral appliances with an occlusal flat table

  16 novembre 2017, par Y. Satokawa, I. Minami, N. Wakabayashi
  Oral appliances with an occlusal flat table are used as treatment dentures. However, the short-term effect of insertion of such oral appliances on chewing has not been reported. This study aimed to determine whether experimental and continuous insertion of oral appliances with an occlusal flat (...)

• Mini-implants and narrow diameter implants as mandibular overdenture retainers : A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical and radiographic outcomes

  10 novembre 2017, par R. M. Marcello-Machado, F. Faot, A. J. Schuster, G. G. Nascimento, A. A. Del Bel Cury
  This study reviews the clinical and radiographic outcomes of Mini-implants (MI) and Narrow Diameter Implants (NDI) as mandibular overdenture (MO) retainers. Six databases were consulted for clinical studies that evaluated implants with diameter ≤3.5 mm. Data on the MI and NDI for survival and (...)

• Reliability of an adherence monitoring sensor embedded in an oral appliance used for treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea

  1er novembre 2017, par K. Gjerde, S. Lehmann, I. F. Naterstad, M. E. Berge, A. Johansson
  The aim of this study was to test whether digitally registered use of a mandibular advancement device (MAD) by a built-in thermal sensor was reliable compared to a self-reported diary of MAD use. Eighty consecutive patients referred to a specialist outpatient sleep medicine clinic (HUS) were (...)

• Analysis of masticatory muscle coordination during unilateral single-tooth clenching using muscle functional magnetic resonance imaging

  1er novembre 2017, par S. Yamaguchi, C. Okada, Y. Watanabe, M. Watanabe, Y. Hattori
  In a previous study, we used muscle functional magnetic resonance imaging to show that the anterior movement of the occlusal point increased the activity of the superior head of the ipsilateral lateral pterygoid muscle (ipsilateral SHLP) during unilateral single-tooth clenching. The purpose of (...)
