• Hyoid and laryngeal excursion kinematics – magnitude, duration and velocity – changes following successful exercise-based dysphagia rehabilitation : MDTP

  22 décembre 2014, par I. Sia, P. Carvajal, A. A. Lacy, G. D. Carnaby, M. A. Crary
  Variability in magnitude of deglutitional hyolaryngeal excursion in patients with dysphagia suggests that it does not adequately represent the kinematics of swallowing difficulties or recovery following rehabilitation. On the other hand, reduced hyolaryngeal excursion velocity has been reported (...)

• The effects of salivas on occlusal forces

  22 décembre 2014, par E. S. McCrea, T. R. Katona, G. J. Eckert
  Contacting surfaces of opposing teeth produce friction that, when altered, changes the contact force direction and/or magnitude. As friction can be influenced by several factors, including lubrication and the contacting materials, the aim of this study was to measure the occlusal load (...)

• An update on pathophysiological mechanisms related to idiopathic oro-facial pain conditions with implications for management

  22 décembre 2014, par H. Forssell, S. Jääskeläinen, T. List, P. Svensson, L. Baad-Hansen
  Chronic oro-facial pain conditions such as persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP), atypical odontalgia (AO) and burning mouth syndrome (BMS), usually grouped together under the concept of idiopathic oro-facial pain, remain a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Lack of understanding of the (...)

• People with chronic facial pain perform worse than controls at a facial emotion recognition task, but it is not all about the emotion

  22 décembre 2014, par H. Piekartz, S. B. Wallwork, G. Mohr, D. S. Butler, G. L. Moseley
  Alexithymia, or a lack of emotional awareness, is prevalent in some chronic pain conditions and has been linked to poor recognition of others' emotions. Recognising others' emotions from their facial expression involves both emotional and motor processing, but the possible contribution of motor (...)

• Cyclic mechanical pressure-loading alters epithelial homeostasis in a three-dimensional in vitro oral mucosa model : clinical implications for denture-wearers

  22 décembre 2014, par A. Shiomi, K. Izumi, A. Uenoyama, T. Saito, N. Saito, H. Ohnuki, H. Kato, M. Kanatani, S. Nomura, H. Egusa, T. Maeda
  Denture-wearing affects the quality and quantity of epithelial cells in the underlying healthy oral mucosa. The physiologic mechanisms, however, are poorly understood. This study aimed to compare histologic changes and cellular responses of an epithelial cell layer to cyclic mechanical (...)
