There was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis at 1 year 3 months after surgery, and an International Team for Implantology (ITI) implant system (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) and prosthetic appliance were provided for cosmetic improvement and recovery of masticatory function.
The rehabilitation of masticatory function led to a significant improvement of alveolar bone architecture in adult rats, although the negative effects of hypofunction were not totally reversed during the period under study.
Conclusion: Undernutrition during critical periods of life causes changes in the key structures of masticatory function.
This study assessed the reliability and validity of masticatory function assessment using a new test food, Optozeta.
This study was designed to investigate the effect of masticatory function rehabilitation on the morphology and the trabecular architecture of the mandibular alveolar bone after cessation of growth.
Statement of Problem: The neuromuscular network of masticatory function is, in part, coordinated with afferent information provided by the periodontal ligament (PDL).
Some studies have performed longitudinal evaluations of masticatory function for more than 3 years [24, 25].
Evaluation of canine guidance occlusal concept using a different method of evaluation of masticatory function other than electromyography.
Muscle activity, which is a reflection of masticatory function of the patient, can be objectively evaluated using surface electromyography (EMG) [20].
To observe the adaptation of masticatory function after rehabilitation with an immediately loaded implant-supported prosthesis, we compared the data of four stages (before and after implant surgery) using four tests (occlusal contact, approximate maximum bite force, masticatory efficiency, and recognition of hardness threshold).
