Purpose: Reference values of occlusal characteristics are needed to interpret the data obtained using the T-Scan System. This study aimed to establish reference values for and to assess the reliability of, occlusal force distribution in the maximal intercuspal position and the occlusion time in young adults with healthy dentition.
Materials And Methods: In total 178 adults with natural dentition participated in this retrospective cross-sectional study, of whom 76 performed a retest session. Several occlusal recordings were obtained from each participant using the T-Scan system while asking them to bite two or three consecutive times (multi-bite) or only once (single-bite) at the maximal intercuspal position. The lateral and anteroposterior occlusal force distribution were determined as percentages in the right and posterior teeth . Occlusion time was measured in seconds. After the occlusal force distribution and occlusion time percentiles were calculated, reliability was assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient.
Results: The 5th-95th percentiles for occlusal force distribution were 34%-67% on the right teeth and 55%-94% on the posterior teeth. The 90th percentile for multi-bite occlusion time was 0.17 s and for single-bite occlusion time was 0.27 s. The intraclass correlation coefficients for lateral occlusal force distribution, anteroposterior occlusal force distribution, multi-bite occlusion time, and single-bite occlusion time were 0.70, 0.68, 0.58, and 0.67, respectively.
Conclusions: This study generated reference values for key occlusal characteristics (occlusal force distribution and occlusion time) when using the T-Scan system. These values showed moderate reliability.

Objectives: To compare the stress distribution and crack propagation in cracked mandibular first molar restored with onlay, overlay, and two types of occlusal veneers using two different CAD/CAM materials by Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Materials And Methods: A mandibular first molar was digitized using a micro CT scanning system in 2023. Three-dimensional dynamic scan data were transformed, and a 3D model of a cracked tooth was generated.
Evaluation of the Low-Level Laser Therapy in Pain, Bite Force, and Mouth Opening Following Midfacial Trauma.

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is known for its biostimulant properties, which can reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. The present study is randomized, blinded, and placebo-controlled and aims to investigate the role of LLLT in the postoperative recovery of facial fractures. Patients with fractures of the zygomatic bone are selected and divided into two groups: low-level laser and red placebo light.

Background: We examined the factors associated with low tongue pressure to clarify its association with physical abnormalities in adolescent and young adult women.
Methods: This study enrolled 92 women aged 10-20 years. Following the collection of anthropometric data, measurements were performed, including grip strength, maximum occlusal force, maximum tongue pressure, and masticatory performance.
Effects of the shortened dental arch on oral function in older adults: A prospective cohort study.

Department of Geriatric Dentistry, Osaka Dental University, Osaka, Japan.
Statement Of The Problem: Previous longitudinal studies have found that patients with shortened dental arches (SDA) have a higher risk of long-term tooth loss than complete dental arch (CDA). However, the difference between SDA and CDA concerning oral function has yet to be demonstrated.
Purpose: We aimed to clarify the influence of molar occlusal support on oral function in SDA and CDA participants cross-sectionally and longitudinally.
Mediating role of fruit and vegetable intake and social interaction between oral function and mental health in older adults aged ≥75 years: The SONIC study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the link between oral function and mental health among older adults in Japan, focusing on the roles of fruit and vegetable consumption and social interactions.
- Involving 478 participants aged 75 and older, the research used structural equation modeling to show that better oral function positively impacts mental health status, while fruit and vegetable intake and social interactions serve as mediators in this relationship.
- Results indicated a direct association between oral function and mental health, but the mediation analysis showed that the relationship was primarily indirect, driven by dietary habits and social engagement.
