Masticatory function and cognitive function

compactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops

chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...

Calorie Restriction, Longevity and Cognitive Function

Masticatory function and nutrition in old age.

Nowadays, many people retain their natural teeth until late in life as a result of the large success of preventive strategies. However, there is still a very high prevalence of edentulism especially in elderly patients and many of these patients are provided with inadequate dental prostheses. In addition, many elderly citizens suffer from systemic diseases leading to increased drug prescription...

Palatal coverage disturbance in masticatory function.

Oral sensorimotor function is essential for mastication. We hypothesized that palatal coverage would disturb mastication and sensorimotor function. Masticatory efficiency, which was expressed by the declination rate of particle size, and oral stereognosis ability (OSA) were measured for 20 dentate subjects. Both measurements were first performed without an experimental palatal plate. These meas...

The effects of masticatory exercise using a gum on the cognitive function and stress

Masticatory function affects energy expenditure, heart rate, working memory, choice reaction time and psychological arousal. In other words, masticatory function is closely related to cognitive process ability. And it also influences concentration enhancement and stress alleviation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an masticatory exercise training using a gum can improve cogni...
