• Two-colour chewing gum mixing ability test for evaluating masticatory performance in children with mixed dentition : validity and reliability study

  25 juillet 2017, par M. S. Kaya, B. Güçlü, M. Schimmel, S. Akyüz
  The unappealing taste of the chewing material and the time-consuming repetitive task in masticatory performance tests using artificial foodstuff may discourage children from performing natural chewing movements. Therefore, the aim was to determine the validity and reliability of a two-colour (...)

• How does mandibular bone atrophy influence the masticatory function, OHRQoL and satisfaction in overdenture wearers ? Clinical results until 1-year post-loading

  25 juillet 2017, par R. M. Marcello-Machado, F. Faot, A. J. Schuster, A. M. Bielemann, O. L. Chagas Júnior, A. A. Del Bel Cury
  This longitudinal clinical study investigated the differences in the masticatory function (MF), satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) between atrophic patients (AP) and non-atrophic patients (NAP) before and after rehabilitation with mandibular overdenture (MO). (...)

• Effect of Functional Chewing Training on tongue thrust and drooling in children with cerebral palsy : a randomised controlled trial

  6 juillet 2017, par Ö. Inal, S. Serel Arslan, N. Demir, Ö. Tunca Yilmaz, A. A. Karaduman
  Tongue thrust, which is an oral reflex associated with sucking behaviour, may cause problems in swallowing, speech, oro-facial development and also drooling. We aimed to examine the effect of Functional Chewing Training (FuCT) on tongue thrust and drooling in children with cerebral palsy. The (...)

• Does the presence of an occlusal indicator product affect the contact forces between full dentitions ?

  6 juillet 2017, par J. A. Mitchem, T. R. Katona, E. A. S. Moser
  Studies have explored occlusal marking interpretation, repeatability and accuracy. But, when an occlusion detection product is interposed between teeth, direct tooth–tooth occlusal contact relationships are replaced by tooth-material-tooth structures. Thus, the marks cannot reflect the original (...)

• The medial pterygoid muscle : a stabiliser of horizontal jaw movement

  30 juin 2017, par H. Chen, T. Whittle, J. A. Gal, G. M. Murray, I. J. Klineberg
  There is limited information of the normal function of the human medial pterygoid muscle (MPt). The aims were to determine whether (i) the MPt is active throughout horizontal jaw movements with the teeth apart and (ii) whether single motor units (SMUs) are active during horizontal and (...)
