Influence of mandibular tori on stomatognathic system function

Abstract

Mandibular tori promoted morphological and functional changes in the stomatognathic system.

Effects of Parkinson's disease on molar bite force, electromyographic activity and muscle thickness of the masseter, temporal and sternocleidomastoid muscles: A case‐control study

“…The apparatus on which the maximal molar bite force was applied and recorded consisted of two rods with Teflon discs at the ends, which were cleaned with alcohol and protected with latex finger cots for biosafety. Molar bite force data collection was performed in the region of the first permanent molar, as it is the site with the highest bite force . The subjects remained seated in a chair, with their arms extended alongside their bodies and hands on their thighs.…”

“…sEMG measurements, bite force and muscle thickness were calculated using the records of eight individuals without Parkinson's disease obtained during two different sessions, with an interval of 7 days between sessions. The measurements slightly varied between the first and second sessions for the average dynamometry values recorded from three bites on the right and left sides (5.21%), sEMG (3.74%) and ultrasonography (4.38%) …”

“…Molar bite force data collection was performed in the region of the first permanent molar, as it is the site with the highest bite force. 17 The subjects remained seated in a chair, with their arms extended alongside their bodies and hands on their thighs. The study subjects were instructed as to how to bite the rods, thereby ensuring the reliability of the procedure.…”

Efeito da Doença de Parkinson na força de mordida, atividade eletromiográfica e espessura dos músculos masseter, temporal e esternocleidomastoideo

“…O sistema estomatognático tem características próprias, suas estruturas são especializadas em funções e qualquer alteração neste complexo sistema pode desencadear desequilíbrio funcional (Siéssere et al, 2009;Mendes et al, 2017;Chaves et al, 2017).…”

Efeito da esclerose lateral amiotrófica na atuação do sistema estomatognático - análises eletromiográfica, ultrassonográfica, força de mordida e eficiência mastigatória

“…A eletromiografia de superfície (EMG) é uma metodologia reconhecida internacionalmente, de fácil execução, não invasiva e indolor que avalia a musculatura estriada esquelética com a finalidade de fornecer informações do padrão de ativação muscular, auxiliando no diagnóstico e prognóstico de patologias e disfunções (DE LUCA, 1997;BÉRZIN, 2004;KLASSER et al, 2006;REGALO et al, 2006;REGALO et al, 2008;DE OLIVEIRA, 2014;PALINKAS et al, 2016;MENDES DA SILVA et al, 2016).…”
