Loss of continuity of the mandible destroys the balance and symmetry of mandibular function, leading to altered mandibular movements and deviation of the residual fragment towards the resected side. Prosthodontic treatment along with physical therapy may be useful in reducing mandibular deviation and improving masticatory efficiency. Numerous prosthetic methods are employed to minimize deviation and improve masticatory efficiency which includes implant supported prosthesis, mandibular guide flange prosthesis, and palatal based guidance restoration. This article describes rehabilitation of hemimandibulectomy patient using twinned teeth (two rows of teeth) on the unresected side in the maxillary edentulous arch for whom implant supported prosthesis, mandibular guide flange prosthesis or palatal based guide flange prosthesis cannot be fabricated to improve the masticatory efficiency.

Prevalence and risks of sleep bruxism in children and adolescents presenting for orthodontic treatment.
Eur J Orthod
December 2024
Department of Orthodontics, School of Dental Medicine, University at Buffalo, 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, NY 14214, United States.
Objectives: This study determined the prevalence and risks of definite sleep bruxism (SB) among children and adolescents presenting for orthodontic treatment.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 7-16-year-old subjects pursuing orthodontic treatment for the first time. The presence or absence of SB was determined using an overnight mandibular movement monitoring inertial measurement sensor, worn by each participant for two consecutive nights.

The mechanical properties of dietary items are known to influence skull morphology, either through evolution or by phenotypic plasticity. Here, we investigated the impact of supplementary feeding of peanuts on the morphology of red squirrels () from five populations in Britain (North Scotland, Borders, Jersey and two temporally distinct populations from Formby (Merseyside)). Stable isotope analysis confirmed dietary ecology in 58 specimens.

Unlabelled: Given the rising global population of older adults and their association with edentulism and the use of complete removable prostheses [CRP], it is imperative to pursue solutions for issues such as the relationship between poor diets and masticatory deficiency.
Objective: To examine the research on the efficacy of dietary counseling in enhancing mastication and nutrition in older adults with CRP.
Methods: A systematic literature review was performed in the PubMed, Trip, and Web of Science databases.

Purpose: To analyze the safety of closed traction appliance in the treatment of impacted anterior teeth and its effect on pulp blood flow and masticatory function.
Methods: A total of 80 patients with impacted anterior teeth who received treatment from January 2017 to December 2022 were selected, and randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 40 cases in each group. The two groups of patients were treated with occlusion adjustment and orthodontic traction.
