Journal ArticleDOI
Does malocclusion affect masticatory performance
TL;DR: It is concluded that malocclusion negatively affects subjects' ability to process and break down foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal masticatory performance in young adults and children
TL;DR: Body size, together with the occlusal contact area of the posterior teeth and the bite force, explained 60-72 percent of the variation in performance, while contact area, posterior ramus height, and bite force explained differences between men and women, but differences between adults and children remained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and positional asymmetries of young children with functional unilateral posterior crossbite.
TL;DR: It is concluded that unilateral posterior crossbites produce morphological and positional asymmetry of the mandible in young children, and that these asymmetries can be largely eliminated with early expansion therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of bolus hardness on masticatory kinematics.
TL;DR: It is suggested that greater muscular effort when chewing harder gum produces a greater acceleration of the mandible in all phases except when the harder gum slows the mandibles during the occlusal phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of human chewing-cycle kinematics.
TL;DR: New methods of quantifying and evaluating the human chewing cycle are introduced, which provide a more complete description of kinematic patterns, a hierarchical description of variation, and its ability to test hypotheses statistically is concluded.
