Objectives: To give an overview of the evidence on the associations between oral condition factors and masticatory performance of adults, and to evaluate the direction and level of the associations.
Data/sources: Medline (PubMed), Embase (Ovid) and CINAHL Plus (EBSCOhost) were searched up to May 2022 for cross-sectional studies on oral conditions and masticatory performance in adults. Methodological quality of the included studies was independently evaluated based on the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for analytical cross-sectional studies.
Purpose: The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarise the current information on the masticatory function of stroke patients.
Methods: Four electronic databases (Medline, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science) were searched for relevant observational studies and clinical trials (up to Jun 2021) on the masticatory function of stroke patients. Two reviewers independently performed study selection and quality assessments (using JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist).
Objectives: To give an overview of the current evidence on the associations of general health conditions with masticatory performance and maximum bite force in older adults.
Data/sources: Three electronic databases (Medline via PubMed, Embase via Ovid and CINAHL Plus via EBSCOhost) were searched up to September 2021 for cross-sectional studies on general health conditions and masticatory performance or maximum bite force in older adults. Methodological quality of the included studies was independently evaluated based on Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for analytical cross-sectional studies.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to critically evaluate the Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) for masticatory function in adults.
Methods: Five electronic databases (Medline, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, CINAHL Plus and APA PsycINFO) were searched up to March 2021. Studies reporting development or validation of PROMs for masticatory function on adults were identified.
Objectives: This systematic review aims to investigate the efficacy of denture adhesives (DAs) for complete dentures (CDs), and to provide clinical recommendations for prosthodontists and general practitioners.
Data/sources: Electronic databases (Medline, Embase, CENTRAL) and gray literatures were searched (up to March 2020) for relevant randomized and non-randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs and CCTs) evaluating the efficacy of DAs when applied to CDs. Primary outcomes were objectively assessed variables directly related to mastication (denture retention, maximum bite force and masticatory efficiency).
Objectives: Aim of this systematic review was to summarize the factors that affect the success rate of atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) restorations in children.
Data/sources: Two independent reviewers conducted a literature search in the databases PubMed, Medline and Web of Science until October 2019 with no initial time limit. Articles reporting on clinical outcomes of ART restorations placed in children were included.
Objectives: To develop and validate a questionnaire for assessing chewing function of Chinese older adults.
Methods: The chewing function questionnaire was validated on older adults recruited from a dental hospital, an elderly home and three community centers in Hong Kong. The participants were asked to indicate their ability to chew on each of the 20 selected food items and to self-rate their overall chewing ability.
Bovine origin matrix has been widely used in clinical applications and investigated by various research institutions. However, the potential factors that influence bone regeneration are still not thoroughly understood and need further investigations. In this study, bone regeneration properties of anorganic bovine bone matrix (ABBM), organic-containing bovine bone matrix (OBBM), and widely acknowledged anorganic bovine bone matrix (Bio-Oss) were compared.

Material And Methods: Strontium-oxide layer on the SLA surface was produced by hydrothermal treatment using a Sr-containing solution. The surface topographies, roughness, hardness values, chemical elements and ionic release of SLA and the strontium-containing SLA (Sr-SLA) surface were measured by special instruments separately.
