(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)In recent years finite element analysis (FEA) has emerged as a useful tool for the analysis of skeletal form-function relationships. While this approach has obvious appeal for the study of fossil specimens, such material ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2019)The injection of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) in the masticatory muscles, to cause its temporary paralysis, is a widely used intervention for clinical disorders such as oromandibular dystonia, sleep bruxism, and aesthetics ...
-
(American Association of Orthodontists, 2014-09)Introduction: In this study, we compared patterns of morphologic variations of the craniofacial skeleton between patients affected by clefts who were operated on and unaffected subjects, aiming to discuss possible ...
-
(Elsevier, 2019)Purpose: Mandibular asymmetry related to condylar hyperactivity (CH) presents a complex set of morphologic features that pose challenges for its correction. Using state-of-the-art morphometric techniques, this report ...
-
(Wiley, 2015)To carry out functional simulations of the masticatory system that aim to predict strain magnitudes it is important to apply appropriate jaw-elevator muscle forces. Force magnitude estimation from directly measured muscle ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016)The human skull is gracile when compared to many Middle Pleistocene hominins. It has been argued that it is less able to generate and withstand high masticatory forces, and that the morphology of the lower portion of the ...

(Sociedad Chilena Anatomía, 2018)Hace aproximadamente once mil años el ser humano pasó de alimentarse de los animales que cazaba o pescaba y los frutos y plantas que recolectaba, a aquellos que podía crecer a voluntad mediante la agricultura. Este cambio ...

(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)Finite element analysis (FEA) is a modelling technique increasingly used in anatomical studies investigating skeletal form and function. In the case of the cranium this approach has been applied to both living and fossil ...
