“…For the measurement of maximum bite force, the subject’s head was positioned with the Frankfurt plane parallel to the floor, and then a 98-µm-thick pressure-sensitive sheet (Dental prescale, Type-R; GC) was placed between the maxillary and mandibular dental arches and the subject was instructed to bite gently, after which the subject was instructed to exert maximum clenching in the intercuspal position for 3 s. The resulting samples were analyzed using an image scanner (Occluzer, FPD-707; GC) (Sodeyama et al 1998). Maximum bite force (N) was measured twice, and the mean value was used.…”

Introduction: Although previous studies have identified various factors related to masticatory performance, which factors affect longitudinal changes in masticatory performance have not been clarified. Objectives: We aimed to clarify factors involved in changes to masticatory performance and construct models from factors related to masticatory performance in a longitudinal study of a general urban population in Japan.

“…This system is now being used in various fields of dental research, particularly by Japanese researchers [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] . These studies have suggested that this system might help evaluating masticatory function and could be applicable to general dental clinical work.…”

We examined the feasibility of applying the Dental Prescale Occluzer System ™ to the evaluation of occlusion in orthodontic patients. The patients were classified according to the type of malocclusion or facial pattern. The values of occlusal contact area and occlusal force obtained from these individuals differed depending on the type of occlusion or facial pattern. These values were higher in individuals with normal occlusion than in patients with malocclusion and higher in patients with the Brachyo facial pattern than in those with the Dolico facial pattern. Because this system can very easily analyze the occlusal contact area, the mean pressure on each occlusal contact point, and the occlusal force during the process of orthodontic treatments, it can be useful as an aid for the initial diagnosis of occlusal problems, the observation of the changes in occlusion during treatment, and the establishment of the final goal of orthodontic treatments.

Modified electroconvulsive therapy (m-ECT) is a treatment for mental disease such as depressive disorder. Although a muscle relaxant is used during current application, strong occlusion occurs due to the proximity of the electrode to the temporal and masseter muscles. Although a feedback mechanism to avoid excessive occlusion occurs unconsciously, the mechanism does not work under general anesthesia. Strong occlusion may cause complications such as tooth injury, pain of the jaw, lip laceration, and bleeding of the gums. Although there was a report that the insertion of shock-absorbing materials such as gauze reduces complications, there has been no study on the effectiveness of a mouth guard (MG) for alleviating the occlusal force during m-ECT. The present study investigated the effectiveness of MG for alleviation of the occlusal force and complications during m-ECT. An ethyl-vinyl-acetate (EVA) MG was used as a shock absorbing material to mitigate the strong occlusion during m-ECT to investigate the influence of MG on the occlusal force and its effectiveness. The results showed that the occlusal force was alleviated by 58 ± 22% on average using MG during m-ECT. It also helped reduce intra-oral problems such as pain and bleeding. The results suggest the effectiveness of MG for alleviating the occlusal force during m-ECT and avoiding complications due to strong occlusion.
