Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether vertical facial patterns influence maximal occlusal force (MOF), masticatory muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity, and medial mandibular flexure (MMF). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seventy-eight dentate subjects were divided into 3 groups by Ricketts's analysis: brachyfacial, mesofacial and dolychofacial. Maximum occlusal force in the molar region was bilaterally measured with a force transducer. The electromyographic activities of the masseter and anterior temporal muscles were recorded during maximal voluntary clenching. Medial mandibular flexure was calculated by subtracting the intermolar distance of maximum opening or protrusion from the distance in the rest position. The data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test. The significance level was set at 5%. RESULTS: Data on maximum occlusal force showed that shorter faces had higher occlusal forces (P<0.0001). Brachyfacial subjects presented higher levels of masseter electromyographic activity and medial mandibular flexure, followed by the mesofacial and dolychofacial groups. Additionally, dolychofacial subjects showed significantly lower electromyographic temporalis activities (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of the study, it may be concluded that maximum occlusal force, masticatory muscle activity and medial mandibular flexure were influenced by the vertical facial pattern.

TL;DR: The accumulated strain pattern in the rapid maxillary expansion appliance can vary depending on the facial biotype, and orthodontists should try to tailor the activation and retention protocol based on each patient's characteristics.

Contribution of Jaw Muscle Size and Craniofacial Morphology to Human Bite Force Magnitude
TL;DR: The contribution of the masseter muscle to the variation in bite force magnitude was higher than that of the craniofacial factors and jaw muscle thicknesses, and fifty-eight percent of the bite force variance could be explained.

Bruxism: its multiple causes and its effects on dental implants - an updated review.
TL;DR: It is found that there is still insufficient evidence to support or refute a causal relationship between bruxism and implant failure, and there is a vast need for well-designed studies to study both the aetiology of bruisesism and its purported relationship with implant failure.
