  1. 1. Masticatory function and temporomandibular disorders in patients with dentofacial deformities : studies before and after orthodontic and orthognathic treatment

    Författare :Cecilia Abrahamsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dentofacial deformities; orthognathic treatment; orthognathic surgery; orthodontics; stomathognathic physiology; temporomandibular disorders; masticatory function;

    Sammanfattning : Ca 30 % av Sveriges befolkning genomgår någon gång i livet behandling med tandreglering. I de fall där bettavvikelsen är mer omfattande är enbart tandreglering inte tillräckligt för att uppnå ett bra bett. Istället kombinerar man tandregleringen med en kirurgisk förflyttning av käkarna s.k. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Masticatory function in people with dental implants

    Författare :Anastasios Grigoriadis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In use, since the 1960´s, dental implants have been reported to allow chewing that is as efficient as with natural dentition. However, input from periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs) around the tooth is important for sensorimotor regulation of biting and chewing. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Masticatory retraining effect on masseter muscle, facial morphology and alveolar bone structure in the adult rat

    Författare :Anna Ödman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adult; rat; craniofacial morphology; alveolar trabecular bone; MYH; mandible; masticatory function;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this series of investigations was to study the effect of masticatory muscle retraining in adult rats with an earlier reduced masticatory muscle function on the craniofacial morphology, on the internal alveolar bone structure and on the deep masseter muscle. Material and Methods: Sixty young male rats received soft diet for a prolonged period, so that the animals developed weak masticatory muscles. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Objective and subjective masticatory function in older individuals

    Författare :Per Elgestad Stjernfeldt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Oral health in the older population has improved, both in Sweden and in a global perspective. Oral health that has been associated to other, more general health perspectives such as nutrition and cognition, but also presents new challenges for the dental community. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Electromyography and bite force studies of muscular function and dysfunction in masticatory muscles

    Författare :Catharina Hagberg; []
    Nyckelord :Electromyography; bite force; contraction; isometric; masticatory muscles; mastication; intramuscular injections;

    Sammanfattning : Electromyographic (EMG) activity versus bite force was studied during a gradually increased isometric contraction up to maximal effort for patients with painful masseter muscles and referents. The masseter muscle, the anterior temporal muscle and the descending part of the trapezius muscle were chosen for the recordings. LÄS MER
