Two?colour chewing gum mixing ability: digitalisation and spatial heterogeneity analysis
Summary Many techniques are available to assess masticatory performance, but not all are appropriate for every population. A proxy suitable for elderly persons suffering from dementia was lacking, and a two?colour chewing gum mixing ability test was investigated for this purpose. A fully automated digital analysis algorithm was applied to a mixing ability test using two?coloured gum samples in a stepwise increased number of chewing cycles protocol (Experiment 1: n = 14; seven men, 19–63 years), a test–retest assessment (Experiment 2: n = 10; four men, 20–49 years) and compared to an established wax cubes mixing ability test (Experiment 3: n = 13; 0 men, 21–31 years). Data were analysed with repeated measures anova (Experiment 1), the calculation of the intraclass corre…

Effects of growth hormone and ultrasound on mandibular growth in rats: MicroCT and toxicity analyses
Abstract: It has been shown by previous studies that mandibular growth can be enhanced by the systemic administration of recombinant growth hormone (rGH) and/or local application of therapeutic low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). The purpose of this study was to determine if local injection of rGH and application of LIPUS to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) would synergistically enhance mandibular growth. In an animal study, the effect of rGH, LIPUS, and combination of rGH and LIPUS on male Sprague–Dawley rats was observed. Mandibular growth was evaluated by measuring total hemimandibular and condylar bone volume and bone surface area as well as condylar bone mineral density (BMD) after 21 days on dissected rats’ mandibles using micro-computed tomography (MicroCT). The expression…
