[PMID: 38071318 PMCID: PMC10709899 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03736-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral well-being is an important component of general well-being and quality of life, as it is greatly influenced by the ability to chew and speak, and thus by central factors of social interaction. Because quality of life and participation are important factors for health in older age, the aim of this article was to examine the chewing ability, including associated factors, for the older population in Germany on the basis of a nationally representative sample. METHODS Database is the German Health Update (GEDA 2019/2020-EHIS), a population based cross-sectional survey of the Robert Koch Institute. In the telephone interview, participants aged 55 years and older were asked: "Do you have difficulty biting and chewing on hard foods such as a firm apple? Would you say 'no difficulty', 'some difficulty', 'a lot of difficulty' or 'cannot do at all/ unable to do'?" Prevalences and multivariate prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) from log-Poisson regressions. Sociodemographic, health-, behavioral- and care-related characteristics were investigated as associated factors. RESULTS The analyses were based on data from 12,944 participants (7,079 women, 5,865 men). The proportion of people with reduced chewing ability was 20.0%; 14.5% had minor difficulty, 5.5% had major difficulty. There were no differences between women and men. The most important associated factors for reduced chewing ability were old age (PR 1.8, 95% CI 1.5-2.1), low socioeconomic status (PR 2.0, 95% CI 1.7-2.5), limitations to usual activities due to health problems (PR 1.9, 1.6-2.2), depressive symptoms (PR 1.7, 1.5-2.1), daily smoking (PR 1.6, 95% CI 1.3-1.8), low dental utilization (PR 1.6, 95% CI 1.4-1.9), and perceived unmet needs for dental care (PR 1.7, 95% CI 1.5-2.1). CONCLUSIONS One fifth of adults from 55 years of age reported reduced chewing ability. Thus, this is a very common functional limitation in older age. Reduced chewing ability was associated with almost all investigated characteristics. Therefore, its prevention requires a holistic view in the living environment and health care context of older people. Given that chewing ability influences quality of life and social participation, maintaining or improving chewing ability is important for healthy aging.

Electromyographic Analysis of Masticatory and Accessory Muscles in Subjects With Implant-Supported Fixed Prostheses: A Three-Arm Comparative Clinical Study. Cureus 2023; 15:e33969. [PMID: 36812127 PMCID: PMC9938720 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.33969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim This study compares the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the masticatory and accessory muscles in patients with natural teeth and those wearing full-mouth fixed prostheses supported by implants. Method In this study, 30 subjects of 30-69 years performed static and dynamic EMG measurements of masticatory and accessory muscles (masseter, anterior temporalis, SCM, and anterior digastric) and were divided into three groups: Group 1 (G1, Control, Dentate), comprising 10 subjects with 14 or more natural teeth (30-51 years of age); Group 2 (G2, single arch implant-supported fixed prosthesis) composed of 10 patients with unilateral edentulism who were successfully rehabilitated with implant-supported fixed prostheses in the maxilla or mandible, restoring occlusion to 12-14 teeth per arch; (39-61 years of age); and Group 3 (G3, full mouth implant-supported fixed prosthesis) with 10 subjects with completely edentulous arches with full mouth implant-supported fixed prosthesis with 12 occluding pairs of teeth (46-69 years of age). The left and right masseter, anterior temporalis, superior sagittal, and anterior digastric muscles were examined at rest, as well as maximum voluntary clenching (MVC), swallowing, and unilateral chewing. On muscle bellies, disposable, pre-gelled silver/silver chloride bipolar surface electrodes were parallel to muscle fibers. BIO-PAKeight® channels recorded electrical muscle activity (Bio-EMG III, BioResearch Associates, Inc. Brown Deer, WI). Results Full mouth embed upheld fixed prostheses patients had higher resting EMG activity than dentate and single curve implants. Full mouth embeds supported fixed prostheses and dentate patients had significantly different temporalis and digastric muscle mean EMG activity. Dentate people used their temporalis and masseter muscles more during the MVC than those with single-curve embedded upheld fixed prostheses limiting natural teeth or full-mouth implants. No event had the crucial item. Neck muscle differences were insignificant. All groups had higher SCM and digastric EMG activity during MVC than at rest. The single curve embed upheld fixed prosthesis group's temporalis and masseter muscles were significantly more active during gulping than the dentate and entire mouth groups. Single curve and entire mouth gulping SCM muscle EMG activity were similar. Digastric muscular EMG activity differed significantly between those with full-arch or partial-arch fixed prostheses and dentures. When instructed to bite one side, the masseter and temporalis front muscle mean EMG activity increased on the unrestricted side. Unilateral biting and temporalis muscle activation were comparable between groups. For the masseter muscle, the mean EMG was also higher on the functioning side, with no truly large differences between the three groups except for right-side biting when comparing the dentate and full mouth embed upheld fixed prosthesis groups and the single curve and full mouth groups. Conclusion The temporalis muscle activity difference was statistically significant in the full mouth implant-supported fixed prosthesis group. The three groups' static (clenching) sEMG analysis showed non-significant temporalis and masseter muscle activity increases. Full mouth swallowing increased digastric muscle activity. All three groups had similar unilateral chewing muscle activity except for the working side masseter muscle.

Abstract
Backgrounds Jaw and neck muscles may be activated by chewing load using a hard food. However, it remains unclear how effects the gum hardness to the coordinated features in jaw and neck muscle activities during chewing performance. Objectives This study was conducted to quantitatively elucidate the effects of the hardness of the gum on coordinated features in jaw and neck muscle activities using intermuscular EMG–EMG transfer function and EMG–EMG coherence function analyses in 18 healthy subjects. Methods Jaw and neck muscle activities were aggregated into the first peak frequency of the power spectrum, and power, gain, phase, and coherence parameters between jaw and neck muscle activities were examined in the first peak frequencies during soft and hard gum chewing. Results The first peak frequency was not significantly different between soft and hard gum chewing. In contrast, power values of the jaw and neck muscles were significantly increased by chewing of hard gum as compared with soft gum, whereas gain, phase, and coherence were not significantly changed by gum hardness. Conclusions The chewing rhythm, the quantitative and temporal coordination, and the functional coordination in jaw and neck muscle activities were not changed during soft and hard gum chewing, as well as increased jaw and neck muscles activities. It is therefore concluded that the chewing rhythmicity and jaw and neck muscles coordination accompanied with the increased jaw and neck muscle activities are maintained under the condition of the chewing load using gum hardness in the healthy individuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to examine how denture wearing improves jaw and neck muscle coordination during chewing in partially edentulous elderly patients. METHODS Sixteen patients classified as Eichner's index B2 or B3 and 16 young dentate subjects were enrolled. Jaw and neck muscle activities during chewing were recorded using electromyography with and without denture wearing, then analyzed using intermuscular Electromyography (EMG)-EMG transfer and EMG-EMG coherence function analyses to clarify quantitative, temporal, and functional coordination of jaw and neck muscle activities while chewing. Occlusal force and masticatory scores were also determined. RESULTS Denture wearing increased the power values for jaw closing muscle activities, and improved occlusal area and force, and masticatory score. Gain values for jaw closing and opening muscle activities were decreased in those wearing dentures compared to those not wearing dentures. Denture wearing resulted in equivalent gain values for jaw closing and opening muscle activities as compared to the young subjects. Coherence values for chewing and non-chewing side neck muscle activities were increased as compared to not denture wearing. CONCLUSIONS The suitability of denture wearing can be evaluated from the viewpoint of gain as a quantitative parameter showing coordination between jaw closing and opening muscle activities. Such evaluation can be performed from the viewpoint of coherence as a parameter of functional coordination between jaw and neck muscle activities during chewing in partially edentulous elderly patients. The gain parameter in regard to jaw muscle activities may be compensated to a state equivalent to that seen in young subjects by wearing an appropriate denture.

Abstract
Summary
Background/Aim: To investigate the electromyographic (EMG) activity changes of jaw-closing muscles in patients with different occlusion schemes and posterior edentulous span, after the placement of teeth-supported fixed partial denture (FPD).
Material and Methods: The study sample consisted of 20 patients (10 men and 10 women, the mean age being 50 years) with a posterior edentulous area that includes two missing premolars or one premolar and one molar. The participants were divided into two groups with different occlusion schemes: canine-guided occlusion (CGO) and group function occlusion (GFO). The metal-ceramic FPD were fabricated according to the clinic-standardized protocol. EMG activities of masseter and anterior temporalis patients’ muscles were recorded with bipolar surface electrodes during maximal voluntary clenching. EMG evaluation was repeated twice: (T1) before the fabrication of FPD (T2) after eight weeks of FPD cementation and intraoral functioning of restoration. The data were subjected to Analysis of Variance–ANOVA within the methodological framework of the General Linear Models with Repeated Measures. The Bonferroni test was used to compare multiple mean measures. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS ver. 11.5. The level of significance was predefined at a=0.05.
Results: Group 1 with CGO presented significantly higher levels of masseter (mean maximum EMG average before 79.36μV and 139.68μV after) and temporalis (mean maximum EMG average before 79.07μV and 149.37μV after) EMG activity after FPD placement. Group 2 with GFO also showed significantly higher levels of masseter (mean maximum EMG average before 61.57μV and 165.30μV after) and temporalis (mean maximum EMG average before 56.94μV and 133.08μV after) EMG activity after the prosthetic restoration.
Conclusions: It may be concluded that fixed prosthetic restoration, in both patients with canine-guided and group function occlusion, results in increased EMG jaw-muscle activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Temporomandibular disease (TMD) etiology is multifactorial and is related to many perpetuating, predisposing, and initiating factors. The daytime parafunctions may have an important role in TMD pathogenesis. The most frequent parafunctions analyzed were the static parafunction (ie, clenching) and the dynamic parafunction (ie, grinding). In the present paper, the authors evaluated the swallowing (an oral function/parafunction) with the surface electromyography in patients with TMD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients with TMD problems (nonhealthy patients, NHP) (mean age: 33 ± 1.994; 8 men and 12 women) and 20 healthy matched subjects (HP) (34.4 ± 2.782; 6 men and 14 women) were selected and examined. On each patient, an 8-channel surface electromyography was done during saliva swallowing. RESULTS Nonhealthy patients presented higher masseter and temporalis activation (P < 0.05) and an unbalancing of temporalis and submental muscles activation (P < 0.05) than the HP. DISCUSSION Nonhealthy patients presented a time of swallow higher than HP (P < 0.001). Nonhealthy patients presented a higher muscles activation and time of swallow than HP and a decrease of muscles balancing activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to increasing demands for a full mouth implant reconstructions and the fact that the most failures are associated with biomechanical complications, determining the effect of different occlusal patterns on these complications seems inevitable. The aim of this study is to compare affection of different occlusal designs in full mouth implant reconstructed patients on electromyographic activity of temporal and masseter muscles compared to natural dentition. METHODS Thirty-two patients were included in this study, considering that 16 patients had natural dentition and the other 16 were full mouth implant reconstruction patients. In both groups, the participants were divided into two subgroups: 8 patients had canine guidance occlusal pattern and the other eight had a group function occlusal pattern. Muscle contractions were studied during both maximum intercuspation and lateral excursions to the point of intercanine contact using an electromyography device. RESULTS The average percentages of masseter muscle contraction in lateral excursions relative to maximum intercuspation were as follows: 72.20% in full mouth implant reconstruction patients with group function occlusion 69.49% in natural dentition with group function occlusion 58.85% in full mouth implant reconstruction patients with canine guidance occlusion 30.91% in natural dentition with canine guidance occlusion. The average percentages of temporal muscle contraction in lateral excursions relative to maximum intercuspation were as follows: 70.87% in full mouth implant reconstruction patients with group function occlusion 78.57% in natural dentition with group function occlusion 51.99% in full mouth implant reconstruction patients with canine guidance occlusion 31.55% in natural dentition with canine guidance occlusion. CONCLUSION A canine guidance occlusal pattern in both, natural dentition and full mouth implant-supported FDP, patients resulted in decreased muscle contraction. This decreasing is more significant in natural dentition and it is better to establish a canine guided occlusion in a full mouth reconstruction patient.

Abstract
This study aims to quantitatively clarify the physiological features in rhythmically coordinated jaw and neck muscle EMG activities while chewing gum using EMG-EMG transfer function and EMG-EMG coherence function analyses in 20 healthy subjects. The chewing side masseter muscle EMG signal was used as the reference signal, while the other jaw (non-chewing side masseter muscle, bilateral anterior temporal muscles, and bilateral anterior digastric muscles) and neck muscle (bilateral sternocleidomastoid muscles) EMG signals were used as the examined signals in EMG-EMG transfer function and EMG-EMG coherence function analyses. Chewing-related jaw and neck muscle activities were aggregated in the first peak of the power spectrum in rhythmic chewing. The gain in the peak frequency represented the power relationships between jaw and neck muscle activities during rhythmic chewing. The phase in the peak frequency represented the temporal relationships between the jaw and neck muscle activities, while the non-chewing side neck muscle presented a broad range of distributions across jaw closing and opening phases. Coherence in the peak frequency represented the synergistic features in bilateral jaw closing muscles and chewing side neck muscle activities. The coherence and phase in non-chewing side neck muscle activities exhibited a significant negative correlation. From above, the bilateral coordination between the jaw and neck muscle activities is estimated while chewing when the non-chewing side neck muscle is synchronously activated with the jaw closing muscles, while the unilateral coordination is estimated when the non-chewing side neck muscle is irregularly activated in the jaw opening phase. Thus, the occurrence of bilateral or unilateral coordinated features in the jaw and neck muscle activities may correspond to the phase characteristics in the non-chewing side neck muscle activities during rhythmical chewing. Considering these novel findings in healthy subjects, EMG-EMG transfer function and EMG-EMG coherence function analyses may also be useful to diagnose the pathologically in-coordinated features in jaw and neck muscle activities in temporomandibular disorders and whiplash-associated disorders during critical chewing performance.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to examine changes in relative electromyographic (EMG) activities of temporal and masseter muscles after relining the dentures with silicone and acrylic-resin based denture liners. MATERIALS AND METHODS Conventional complete dentures were fabricated for 20 edentulous patients. One month after completing adjustments of the dentures, electromyography of the masseter and temporalis muscle during maximum intercuspation was recorded. The dentures were then relined with a silicone denture liner and after an adaptation period of one month, were again subjected for electromyographic evaluation. Further, the dentures were relined with acrylic denture liner and subjected to electromyographic evaluation. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 15.0. Intergroup comparisons were done using ANOVA followed by post-hoc assessments using Tukey HSD test. RESULTS Mean amplitude and duration with conventional dentures was found to be significantly lower as compared to silicone lined and acrylic lined dentures for all the comparisons. Statistically, no significant difference between silicone lined and acrylic lined dentures was observed for any of the comparisons. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this experimental design, it was concluded that relining significantly increases electromyographic activity of the masseter and temporalis muscles. Thus, resulting in an improved biting force, chewing efficiency and masticatory performance. There were no significant differences between silicone and acrylic based denture liners for both electromyographic variables.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several distinctive clinical features of patients with familial dysautonomia (FD) including dysarthria and dysphagia suggest a developmental defect in brainstem reflexes. Our aim was to characterize the neurophysiological profile of brainstem reflexes in these patients. METHODS We studied the function of sensory and motor trigeminal tracts in 28 patients with FD. All were homozygous for the common mutation in the IKAP gene. Each underwent a battery of electrophysiological tests including; blink reflexes, jaw jerk reflex, masseter silent periods and direct stimulation of the facial nerve. Responses were compared with 25 age-matched healthy controls. RESULTS All patients had significantly prolonged latencies and decreased amplitudes of all examined brainstem reflexes. Similar abnormalities were seen in the early and late components. In contrast, direct stimulation of the facial nerve revealed relative preservation of motor responses. CONCLUSIONS The brainstem reflex abnormalities in FD are best explained by impairment of the afferent and central pathways. A reduction in the number and/or excitability of trigeminal sensory axons is likely the main problem. SIGNIFICANCE These findings add further evidence to the concept that congenital mutations of the elongator-1 protein (or IKAP) affect the development of afferent neurons including those carrying information for the brainstem reflex pathways.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goals of part 2 of the study presented here were 1) to assess whether there is a difference in failure mode of different thicknesses (2.0, 1.5, 1.0, and 0.5 mm) of anatomically standardized full contour monolithic lithium disilicate restorations for posterior teeth, and 2) to assess if there is a difference among various crown thicknesses when these restorations are subjected to dynamic load forces common for posterior teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four groups (n = 10), each with a different thickness of anatomically appropriate all-ceramic crowns, were to be tested as established from the statistical analysis of the preliminary phase. Group 1: 2.0 mm; group 2: 1.5 mm; group 3: 1.0 mm; group 4: 0.5 mm. The specimens were adhesively luted to the corresponding die, and underwent dynamic cyclic loading (380 to 390 N) completely submerged in an aqueous environment until a failure was noted by graphic recording and continuous monitoring. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference of the fatigue cycles to failure among four groups (p < 0.001; Kruskal-Wallis test). The mean number of cycles to fail for 2.0 mm specimens was 17 times more than the mean number of cycles to fail for 1.0 mm specimens and 1.5 times more than the mean number of cycles to fail for 1.5 mm specimens. The 0.5 mm specimens failed with one cycle of loading. A qualitative characteristic noted among the 2.0 mm specimens was wear of the area of indenter contact followed by shearing of the material and/or crack propagation. CONCLUSION Based on the findings of this study, it may be reasonable to consider a crown thickness of 1.5 mm or greater for clinical applications of milled monolithic lithium disilicate crowns for posterior single teeth.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Implant-supported, porcelain veneered restorations experience a greater rate of porcelain fracture than tooth-supported restorations. For completely edentulous patients, one approach to minimizing porcelain fracture is to use acrylic resin in the mandible, although its efficacy is unknown. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of a veneering porcelain fatigued with different restorative materials in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-nine veneering porcelain disk specimens were fabricated by layering veneering porcelain on nickel-chromium base metal alloy disks. Four groups of different indenter materials fatigued the porcelain specimens: group WC, tungsten carbide served as a control; group FC, pressed leucite glass ceramic; group NHC, nanohybrid composite resin denture tooth; and group AR, unfilled acrylic resin denture tooth. Porcelain specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=14). A step-stress accelerated life-testing model was used. Use-level probability Weibull plots were generated, and the reliability of each group was estimated for a theoretical completion of 50 000 cycles at 150 N. RESULTS Nanohybrid composite resin and unfilled acrylic resin denture tooth groups had higher reliability than tungsten carbide and leucite glass ceramic groups. No significant differences existed between the reliability of the tungsten carbide and leucite glass ceramic groups and the nanohybrid composite resin and acrylic resin denture tooth groups. CONCLUSIONS Veneering porcelain disk specimens fatigued with the unfilled acrylic resin and nanohybrid composite resin denture tooth indenters exhibited higher reliability than the specimens fatigued with either the tungsten carbide or leucite glass ceramic indenters. All of the veneering porcelain disk specimens failed with the same mode of fracture, although the surface posttest exhibited different fracture characteristics among specimens fatigued with the 4 different materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess step by step the associated cumulative damage introduced in zirconia veneered restorations after long term cyclic loading using a new multi-level strain accommodating loading protocol. METHODS 40 zirconia veneered crowns received thermal and cyclic loading (3.5 million cycles at maximum load of 25 kg representing 70% of the critical load of the veneer ceramic). The used loading protocol allowed for reproduction of the combined damping action of the periodontal ligament, food substance, jaw deformation, and free movement of the mandibular joint. Speed of load application and release was obtained from the chewing cycle of adult patients. Principles of fractographic analysis were used to study the behavior and origin of critical crack and associated structural damage. RESULTS The multi-level strain damping effect prevented generation of cone cracks and contact damage under the loading indenter commonly associated with fracture strength tests. 29 specimens (73%) survived 3.5 million cycles without fracture, 9 specimens (22%) demonstrated cohesive fracture of the veneer ceramic and limited axial fracture of the framework was observed in two specimens (5%). Of all fractured specimens, 2 restorations (5%) failed after 500,000 cycles while the rest survived at least 3 million cycles before fracture was observed. Fractographic analysis revealed initial wear and abrasion below the loading area, subsurface micro-cracking of the glass matrix followed by slow crack growth that traveled in a stepping pattern till deflection at zirconia veneer interface. SIGNIFICANCE Cyclic loading using multi-level strain accommodating model can reproduce clinical failure. With exception to manufacturing errors, zirconia veneered restoration survived a simulated 7-year service time without fracture.

Abstract
Although oral implantology is among the most beneficial developments of modern dentistry, the widely spread opinion that the long-term outcome of implants is superior to that of natural teeth has been refuted. To evade uncritical extractions, the morphofunctional properties of natural teeth and implant-supported restorations are compared from a proprioceptive and occlusal trauma perspective. The periodontal ligament of natural teeth provides the central nerve system with feedback for sensory perception and motor control. Conversely, the lack of such proprioception causes lower tactile sensitivity and less coordinated masticatory muscle activity in implant-borne restorations and makes them more prone to occlusal overload and possible subsequent failure. Moreover, occlusal anomalies may be conducive to parafunctional activity, craniomandibular disorder, tinnitus, and headache. Oral implantology, therefore, has to take appropriate account of occlusal conditions and the biomechanical and neuromuscular aspects of masticatory function.
