Background: Old‐age is the last stage of human evolution and, unfortunately, the ageing of
the oral cavity and masticatory system seems accelerated. As a consequence, there is a …

Background: Old age is the last stage of human life and, unfortunately, the ageing rhythm of
the oral cavity and masticatory system seems to be rather accelerated. Hence, there is a …

Objectives To evaluate the effect of age and chosen factors related to aging such as
dentition, muscle strength, and nutrition on masticatory muscles electromyographic activity …

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate whether a quantitative
electromyographic (EMG) analysis with a special reference to the EMG amplitude at 98N …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of age on the electromyographic
activity of masticatory muscles. All volunteers were Brazilian, fully dentate (except for Group I …

Aim: Mastication is an important function to maintain, not only for oral health, but also for
quality of life. An easy‐to‐use method to evaluate the chewing ability of elderly people in …

Objective: To evaluate the effects of age and dental status on chewing performance in
humans. Design: Electromyography recordings (EMG) were made during chewing of six …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in masticatory muscle activity
according to food size in human mastication. Sixteen subjects performed deliberate …

Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine whether elevator and depressor
muscle activity during 5 minutes of mastication is affected by the presence of a prosthetic …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of bolus hardness on the kinematic of
