Tooth loss, decreased mass and strength of the masticatory muscles leading to difficulty in
chewing have been suggested as important determinants of eating and nutrition in the …

This review focuses on the capacity of the brain for plasticity and the utility and efficacy of
oral implants in helping to restore oro‐facial sensorimotor functions, especially in elderly …

Modification to the dental occlusion may alter oral sensorimotor functions. Restorative
treatments aim to restore sensorimotor functions; however, it is unclear why some patients …

Introduction Ageing leads to physiological cognitive decline that it is worsened in people
with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Despite the ongoing search …

The oro‐facial sensorimotor system is a unique system significantly distinguished from the
spinal sensorimotor system. The jaw muscles are involved in mastication, swallowing and …

Loss of teeth or dental attrition is a common clinical occurrence associated with altered
somatosensation and impaired oral motor behavior (eg, mastication, deglutition, phonation) …

Occlusion should no longer be considered simply as the occlusal scheme determining the
static or dynamic relationship between the dental arches or the jaw position. Rather, it …

This review describes evidence in subprimates and primates that the face primary
somatosensory cortex (face SI) and primary motor cortex (face MI) are involved in …

Parafunctional masticatory activity, such as the tooth clenching and grinding that is
associated with bruxism, is encountered by clinicians in many disciplines, including …

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the estimated number of older adults is
around 962 million and is projected to increase to 2.1 billion by 2050. The oral frailty concept …
