Three-dimensional static equilibrium analysis of the forces generated by the jaw musculature of the horn shark Heterodontus francisci was used to theoretically estimate the maximum force distributions and loadings on its jaws and suspensorium during biting. Theoretical maximum bite force was then compared with bite forces measured (1) voluntarily in situ, (2) in restrained animals and (3) durin...

Analysis of masticatory function is the basis of clinical work in almost all fields of dentistry. Bite forces are the expression and measure of masticatory function. Physical training has an effect on the development of functional ability, motoric ability of the organism and the formation of desired physical proportions. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between physical ...

of the most critical aspects of any restorative dental procedure. The bite registration is a key component in recording intraoral relationships for effective reconstruction of a single prepared tooth, a quadrant of prepared teeth, or a full arch of teeth prepared for restorative aesthetic reconstruction.

OBJECTIVE To describe the incidence and characteristics of dog bite injuries treated in US emergency departments (EDs). DESIGN Emergency department survey from the National Center for Health Statistics National Hospita...

The growth of the evidence based practice (EBP) movement has created a need for efficient models of EBP training that provide timely feedback to trainees. This feasibility trial examined a technological approach to clinical supervision called bug-in-the-eye (BITE) among trainees learning Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Eight DBT trainees within a psychiatry residency program were randomized...
