summary Natural teeth are equipped with periodontal mechanoreceptors that signal
information about tooth loads. In the present review, the basic force‐encoding properties of …

It is generally accepted that the nervous system contributes to the pathophysiology of
peripheral inflammation, and a neurogenic component has been implicated in many …

Objectives: Edentulous patients may be restored with conventional dentures (C/C), implant‐
supported overdentures (IOD) or implant‐supported fixed dental prostheses (IFDP). Null …

Foods such as starch‐or gelatine‐based desserts, cheese, and processed meats are
considered semi‐solid or soft‐solid, viscoelastic materials. Oral processing of these foods …

We used microneurography to characterize stimulus-encoding properties of low-threshold
mechanoreceptive afferents in human orofacial tissues. Signals were recorded from single …

Statement of problem Interim dental prostheses can be fabricated by using subtractive or
additive manufacturing technologies. However, the fracture resistance of implant-supported …

Oral rehabilitation restores form and function and impacts on general health. Teeth provide a
discriminating sense of touch and directional specificity for occlusal perception …

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 …

Medium-or long-term failure of endosseous dental implants after osseointegration, when it
has occurred, has been associated in the great majority of cases with occlusal overload …

Aim Our goal here was to assess the ability of subjects with their natural teeth (natural),
bimaxillary tooth‐supported bridges (bridge) and bimaxillary implant‐supported bridges …
