The evolutionary history of the human face
The face is the most distinctive feature used to identify others. Modern humans have a short,
retracted face beneath a large globular braincase that is distinctively different from that of our …

The relationship between skull morphology, masticatory muscle force and cranial skeletal deformation during biting
V Toro-Ibacache, VZ Muñoz, P O'Higgins - Annals of Anatomy …, 2016 - Elsevier
The human skull is gracile when compared to many Middle Pleistocene hominins. It has
been argued that it is less able to generate and withstand high masticatory forces, and that …

Tooth eruption results from bone remodelling driven by bite forces sensed by soft tissue dental follicles: a finite element analysis
Intermittent tongue, lip and cheek forces influence precise tooth position, so we here
examine the possibility that tissue remodelling driven by functional bite-force-induced jaw …

The effects of the periodontal ligament on mandibular stiffness: a study combining finite element analysis and geometric morphometrics
It is generally accepted that the periodontal ligament (PDL) plays a crucial role in
