Examination of the Masticatory Function in Experimental and Clinical Conditions /// Изследване на дъвкателната функция в експериментални и клинични условия
… is relevant as ever as it affects the subsequent masticatory stages and digestive processes. The interdisciplinary nature of the problem calls for the necessity to seek more concrete evidence of the masticatory process and specifically its initial stage in digestion, namely the formation of the …

A Comparative Study of Patients’ Satisfaction after Prosthodontic Treatments
… fixed dental bridge in three out of five areas: masticatory function of teeth, face and teeth shape, and gingiva and teeth care. Whereas, patients with a fixed dental bridge showed little more satisfaction than patients with dental implants in the remaining two areas: pronunciation function, and …

THE ROLE OF TRIGEMINAL ISL1 NEURONS IN FEEDING BEHAVIOUR
… a marker, ISL1, for brain regions that control masticatory muscles (ISL1MesV and ISL1MoV). Analysis of the inputs to ISL1MoV revealed subcortical regulation of masticatory muscles. Chronic silencing of ISL1MoV resulted in mice exhibiting a starvation phenotype due to impaired masticatory …

Studies on the Changes Occurring in Speech and Masticatory Functions during Prosthetic Treatment // Изследвания върху промените, настъпващи в говорната и дъвкателната функции при протетично лечение
… This thesis investigates changes in speech and masticatory function following prosthetic treatment of single frontal maxillary defects. The research was systematically conducted. First, an otolaryngological screening was carried out to select patients without vocal cord pathology. Then, a …

Retrospective study of the success of dental implants placed in HIV positive patients at the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine
… as dental implants to restore their smile and masticatory function. Implants require a surgical approach which has the same level of invasiveness and risk of infection as tooth extraction. It is still questionable whether implants are a viable alternative for HIV positive patients as HIV …

Ontogeny and functional adaptation of trabecular bone in the human foot
… popularly known as “Wolff’s Law” or “bone functional adaptation”. Anthropological work has focused on correlating variation in primate trabecular bone to locomotor and masticatory function, to provide a context for the interpretation of fossil morphology. However, intraspecies variation and …

Functional adaptation of mandibular trabecular bone and its association with diet: Inter- and intra-specific comparisons among Homo sapiens, papionins, and mice.
… differing levels of strain according to the Bone Functional Adaptation theory. Trabecular bone has been analysed in a variety of contexts in the post-cranial skeleton and the primate mandible in relation to both locomotor functions and FMPs. However, there is little research into trabecular bone …

The Agricultural Transition in Upper Nubia: An Analysis of Mandibular Morphology and Oral Health
… the results demonstrate that changes in masticatory loading magnitude, as a result of dietary shifts, specifically influence mandibular morphology and robusticity in anatomical regions associated with masticatory function, such as the molar region of the mandibular corpus and the ramus. …

A Mechanical and Histological Study of Functionally Graded Hydroxyapatite Implant Coatings
… study is to evaluate bone-implant interaction of functionally graded, thin film hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings in an animal model. The rationale for the graded coatings is such that they elicit different biological responses from different layers within the thin film (less than two microns). As such …

Riabilitazione protesica ed implanto-protesica di pazienti in età evolutiva affetti da Displasia Ectodermica
… the management of HED because is important from functional, esthetic, and psychological standpoint. A team approach that includes input from a pediatric dentist, an orthodontist, a prosthodontist, and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is necessary for a successful outcome. Conventional …

Association between oral health, dietary intake, saliva and nutritional status
… adults with tooth loss may experience reduced masticatory function and chewing ability, which can lead to the avoidance of foods difficult to eat. If nutritional intake is inadequate or excessive this can contribute to suboptimal nutritional status and may lead to malnutrition, encompassing …
