“…The force transducer used in the current experiment has been described in more detail in the previous studies 14–16 . Briefly, the experimental set up consisted of a custom made strain gauge based force transducer (Umeå University, Physiology Section, IMB, Umeå, Sweden) and a computer display monitor.…”

The study investigated the dynamic changes in accuracy and precision during a simple oral and digital motor task involving a controlled and a ballistic force. Eighteen healthy participants participated in four experimental sessions during which they performed one hundred trials of targeting a controlled (low/high hold force) and a ballistic force during an oral and a digital motor task (OMT and DMT). Accuracy and precision across one hundred trials were calculated and subjected to segmented linear regression analysis. Repeated performance of controlled forces show a significant dynamic change in accuracy during initial stage of targeting high hold forces during OMT and a significant dynamic change in both accuracy and precision during final stage of targeting high hold forces during DMT. Repeated performance of ballistic force showed a significant dynamic change in both accuracy and precision during final stage of targeting high hold force forces during OMT and a significant dynamic change in accuracy during the initial stages of targeting high hold force during the DMT. The findings indicate a subtle degree of dissociation between accuracy and precision in terms of dynamic modulation of forces due to repeated performance of both OMT and DMT.

“…Similarly high and variable hold forces can be seen for individuals with implant‐supported prostheses in both jaws (lacking periodontal mechanoreceptors) . Subjects with tooth‐supported bridges apply holding forces whose levels are intermediate between those generated by the individuals with natural dentition and those with implant‐supported bridges, indicating an impaired, but to some extent remaining ability to control the magnitude of holding forces . Thus, the periodontal mechanoreceptors play an important role in regulating the intensity of the force applied when holding and positioning food between the teeth prior to biting.…”

Masticatory function is an important aspect of oral health, and oral rehabilitation should aim to maintain or restore adequate function. The present qualitative review is the joint effort of a group of clinicians and researchers with experiences ranging from basic and clinical oral neuroscience to management of patients with dental implants. The aim is to provide a short summary for the clinician of the many aspects related to masticatory function (including quality of life) and rehabilitation with dental implants. While there are many reviews on the tissue responses to dental implants and technical aspects, the functional aspects have received relatively little focus.

“…Lack of simple and clinically viable methods for subjective evaluation or use of non‐standardised methods across different studies makes it difficult to compare and quantify the magnitude of the problem . Further, studies have shown discrepancies in chewing efficiency and impaired sensorimotor control associated with people rehabilitated with dental prosthesis . It has been suggested that edentulous patients despite wearing well‐made dental prosthesis have difficulties in chewing hard and tough food.…”

Tooth loss, decreased mass and strength of the masticatory muscles leading to difficulty in chewing have been suggested as important determinants of eating and nutrition in the elderly. To compensate for the loss of teeth, in particular, a majority of the elderly rely on dental prosthesis for chewing. Chewing function is indeed an important aspect of oral health, and therefore, oral rehabilitation procedures should aim to restore or maintain adequate function. However, even if the possibilities to anatomically restore lost teeth and occlusion have never been better; conventional rehabilitation procedures may still fail to optimally restore oral functions. Perhaps this is due to the lack of focus on the importance of the brain in the rehabilitation procedures. Therefore, the aim of this narrative review was to discuss the importance of maintaining or restoring optimum chewing function in the superageing population and to summarise the emerging studies on oral motor task performance and measures of cortical neuroplasticity induced by systematic training paradigms in healthy participants. Further, brain imaging studies in patients undergoing or undergone oral rehabilitation procedures will be discussed. Overall, this information is believed to enhance the understanding and develop better rehabilitative strategies to exploit training-induced cortical neuroplasticity in individuals affected by impaired oral motor coordination and function. Training or relearning of oral motor tasks could be important to optimise masticatory performance in dental prosthesis users and may represent a much-needed paradigm shift in the approach to oral rehabilitation procedures.
