  1. 1. Neck function in rhythmic jaw activities

    Författare :Birgitta Häggman-Henrikson; Antoon DeLaat; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :chewing; head; human; jaw; mandible; motor control; movement; neck; temporomandibular disorders; whiplash injury; odontologi; Odontology;

    Sammanfattning : Previous studies in animals and humans show anatomic and physiological connections between the trigeminal and cervical regions. This investigation tested the hypothesis of a functional integration between the human jaw and neck motor systems in rhythmic jaw activities. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Extra- and intrafusal muscle fibre type compositions of the human masseter at young age. : In perspective of growth and functional maturation of the jaw-face motor system

    Författare :Catharina Österlund; Per-Olof Eriksson; Lars-Eric Thornell; Per Stål; Malin Ernberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; jaw; limb; human; muscle; morphology; fibre type; myosin heavy chain; muscle spindle; Morphology; Morfologi; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Sammanfattning : Muscles control body posture and movement by extrafusal and intrafusal (muscle spindle) fibres. The purpose of this thesis was to provide insight into the muscular basis for human jaw function at young age. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Oral Hygiene Ability Instrument-OHAI Development and evaluation of an instrument measuring the cause of poor oral hygiene self-care in older adults

    Författare :Ingela Grönbäck Lindén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Frail; Measurements; Older adults; Oral hygiene;

    Sammanfattning : Oral hygiene is an important preventive measure to maintain good oral health in the growing group of older adults. Oral hygiene often deteriorates with age, but the causes of this at the individual level are rarely investigated. One reason of several may be that a multifactorial assessment instrument is missing.

  5. 4. Munhälsa – Äldre personers upplevelser och vårdpersonals attityder och kunskaper

    Författare :Maria Snögren; Kristina Ek; Maria Browall; Irene Eriksson; Ulrika Lindmark; Anna Ehrenberg; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Digital training; Fundamentals of Care; Healthcare professionals; Nursing; Oral Health; Oral Healthcare and Older adults; Digital utbildning; Fundamentals of Care; Munhälsa; Munvård; Omvårdnad; Vårdpersonal och Äldre personer; Wellbeing in long-term health problems WeLHP ; Välbefinnande vid långvariga hälsoproblem WeLHP ;

    Sammanfattning : Bakgrund: Det är känt att äldre personer har bättre munhälsa i dag och fler kvarvarande tänder än tidigare generationer. Det är en komplex uppgift att utföra munvård för att förebygga nedsatt munhälsa på någon annan. Nedsatt munhälsa kan påverka allmänhälsan på olika sätt, till exempel genom smärta och nedsatt aptit.

  7. 5. Sensory-motor regulation of human biting behavior

    Författare :Krister Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In order to control oral motor behavior, such as biting and chewing, we rely on information provided by a variety of sense organs, including periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs). The PMRs, located among the collagen fibers in the periodontal ligament that attaches the root of the tooth to the alveolar bone, send signals to the central nervous system when the surrounding collagen fibers are stretched by loading of the tooth.
