This book was released on 2012 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern primate diet is well-studied because of its considerable influence on multiple aspects of morphology, including the shape of the facial skeleton and teeth. It is well-established that differences in craniofacial form influence feeding abilities by altering the nature of bite force production. Tooth morphology, likewise, has been shown to vary with diet across primates, particularly in the details of occlusal form. It has also been suggested that tooth form (e.g., tooth root size and shape and crown size) reflects, in part, the demands of resisting the stresses generated during feeding. However, while they are central to our efforts to infer diet in past species, the relationships between bite force production, craniofacial morphology and tooth form are not well-established. The current study is separated into two parts. In Part I, the hypothesis that crown size and root surface area are adapted to resist masticatory stress is evaluated by testing whether these features show correlated variation along the tooth row in a taxonomically diverse sample of primates. To further explore the adaptive nature of this correlation, pair-wise comparisons between primates with mechanically resistant diets and closely-related species consuming less resistant foods are performed. If crown size and root surface area covary along the tooth row, past research suggests they may be related to bite force. To test this hypothesis, Part II examines the variation of these dental characteristics in comparison to theoretically-derived bite force patterns along the tooth row. Results suggest that patterns of maximum bite force magnitude along the tooth row are variable both within and between species, underscoring the importance of individual craniofacial variation on masticatory force production. Furthermore, it is suggested that some adaptations traditionally associated with high bite force production (i.e., facial orthognathy) may increase anterior biting force at the expense of posterior biting force. Taken together, results from the current study reveal that both tooth root and crown size vary in conjunction with the mechanical properties of diet and with bite force patterns along the tooth row in anthropoids.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Textbook of Craniofacial Growth is a "one stop" guide to craniofacial growth and development, for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The book begins with the basics - biology of bone and cartilage, physiology of bone and craniofacial growth and development. Assisted by comprehensive flow charts and well-illustrated diagrams, the text then examines control mechanisms, development of dentition, temporomandibular joint, mycology, neuromuscular reflexes and the maturation of orofacial functions. Craniofacial anomalies and the influence of genetics on growth are also discussed, guiding students through normal versus subnormal growth.

Download or read book Occlusal Bite Force Measurements in Different Malocclusions written by Maryam Mohamed Dawjee and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dento-facial anomalies have been diagnosed for centuries. The diagnosis or observation thereof is reported to date back to the Fifth Century AD where Hippocrates observed and noted numerous craniofacial deformities (Moyers, 1988) Through a complex process of reception, selection and categorizationthe human form particularly the cranium, jaws and related soft tissue structures, have been studied and categorized over the years (Moyers, 1988). Dockrell (1952) focused on the aetiology of malocclusion and through extensive work on the topic, established an equation for the improved identification of aetiology of malocclusion. This equation essentially communicates that a causative factor will act at a specified time, on an identified tissue, to produce particular results. Thus resulting in a deviation from the accepted “normal” relationship. This will result in the development of an archetypally defined, classifiable malocclusion. These so termed causative factors as elicited to in the equation play a pivotal role in the outcomes or resultant malocclusions (Dockrell, 1952). The plasticity in aetiology and resultant Skeletal or dental positional discrepancy should not be overlooked. Multiple factors may act together stabilising each other thus lessening the severity of the expected effect. This research project aims to identify the potential of occlusal bite forces as a causative factor in the “orthodontic equation” and shed light on timing as well as resulting Skeletal and growth effects of variance in occlusal force. Occlusal force is a combined and quantifiable measurement of contributory muscle strength. Through this study a comparative analysis of the occlusal force will be carried out amongst subjects exhibiting differences in age, gender, race, and growth pattern. This study aims to elucidate the influence of occlusal forces and masticatory muscle strength in relation to the resulting craniofacial development. Data was collected from patients exhibiting various dental classes namely Class I, Class II and Class III dental and Skeletal patterns. Bite force strength of patients in primary, mixed and permanent dentition was measured using an occlusal force meter. The occlusal force meter was sourced from a Japanese based company, Nagano Keiki Co. LTD. The readings were done in Kilo newton, which is the standard international (SI) measurement of force. The study population consisted of 180 male and 180 female subjects. This group was split into Skeletal Class I, II and III subjects and then further divided into the three directions of growth (Horizontal, normal and Vertical). The relationship of bite force to Skeletal Class and growth direction was analysed using mean readings from five points of reference on each subject. Analysis of covariance was carried out on the data set with a mean age of 15,33 years (covariant). There was a significant difference found in the bite forces between growth direction and Skeletal Class P

Book excerpt: There's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways? Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your life. Every parent should read this book.
