The occlusion-mastication system has extradigestive functions; however, whether liquid feeding evokes stress responses remains unclear. In this study, reactions to low masticatory performance were analyzed using a diet-alteration model in Wistar rats. Seven days after the diet of the rats was changed from solid to liquid, serum epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations were found to be elev...

The aims of orthodontic treatment is to improve the function mastication, phonetics and aesthetics. Orthodontic in Islam not permitted if purpose only emphasizes hygiene health, so with aim correcting mastication accompanied by aesthetics permissible. this study was determine description knowledge on at lecturer Faculty Islamic Studies, University Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. method descriptive obs...

Texture and structure of breads have been related to oral processing (FOP) performance sensory perceptions, but moisture content might play a significant role. To evaluate the real impact texture structure, eliminating possible role content, different toasted were investigated. Four commercial sliced (white bread -WHB-, whole wheat -WWB-, non-added sugar -NSU-, salt -NSA-) with similar ingredie...

The zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) functions as a buttress for the face and is the cornerstone to a person's aesthetic appearance, by both setting the midfacial width and providing prominence to the cheek. Malar deficiency is often acquired by blunt injury incurred in a traumatic accident, resulting in ZMC fracture. A 48-year-old male patient presented a right ZMC fracture after contusion in...

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between sodium release, saltiness, and oral parameters during the eating of lipoprotein matrices (LPM). Sodium release and saltiness relative to 10 LPM were recorded during normal mastication by five subjects with differing oral parameters (chewing efficiency and salivary flow rate). The LPM samples varied in composition (dry matter, fat, salt, ...

Surgical resection of mandible owing to benign, malignant neoplasm, osteoradionecrosis is common. The resection can be total or segmental depending on the lesion. Loss of mandibular continuity causes deviation of remaining mandibular segment towards the resected side and rotation inferiorly due to muscle pull and scar contracture affecting mastication and esthetics. Surgical reconstruction may ...
