Background Stroke patients often suffer from dysphagia during their recovery. We
hypothesised that subacute stroke patients with dysphagia had more deteriorated oral …

Background Occlusal force represents masticatory function. Using quantifiable occlusal
indicators provides a more objective occlusal force evaluation. In the recent dental practice …

Oral function declines in older individuals due to disease and age-related changes, making
them vulnerable to oral and physical frailty. Therefore, it is important to manage the decline …

Tire–road characteristics are a critical focus of research in the automotive and transportation
industries. On the one hand, the research can help optimize tires' structural design; on the …

Recently, an occlusal force-measuring device with a capacitive-type pressure-mapping
sensor (OFMD-CPS) was developed. We aimed to establish age-and sex-specific standard …

This longitudinal study aimed to clarify the impact of regular oral health management for oral
hypofunction on the oral function of older dental outpatients. The 68 participants enrolled in …

Objectives The objective of this study was to analyze the occlusal contact characteristics of
the food-impacted teeth using a new digital technique. Methods A 3D occlusal analysis …

Background/purpose In cases of missing posterior teeth, treatment modalities based on the
shortened dental arch (SDA) concept may be a viable alternative. However, the association …

Background The association between oral food intake and oral function during the subacute
stage of stroke is not well known. Objective To investigate (1) oral function changes in …

Objectives The present in vitro study evaluated the reliability and validity of two
computerised occlusion analysis systems. Methods Three occlusion analysis methods were …
