    Notes: The breakdown of food in the mouth during mastication can be described in terms of two parameters: a breakage function, which describes the fragmentation of food after a bite, and a selection function which defines the probability of particle fracture. The non-zero value of the selection function depends on the manipulation of food particles by the tongue. Little, however, is known about this. As a first step, this study investigated the manipulation of wax sheets of differing sizes and shapes by the tongue after ingestion. It was found that subjects tended to orientate rectangular and square wax wafers so that the long axis of the particle was parallel to the tooth row, independent of the initial orientation given when they were introduced into the mouth. Circular wafers were randomly oriented relative to initial orientation. If this could be extrapolated to the start of mastication, then it suggests that the tongue tends to align food particles so that the post-canines produce close to the greatest surface area possible by fragmenting them along their longest axis.

    Notes: If it could be shown that the human ear was sufficiently sensitive to describe TMJ sounds, there would be no need to use sophisticated electronic equipment to analyse the sounds. To test this, the ability of normal listeners to distinguish the subtle changes in position, pitch, duration and latency present in TMJ sounds is measured using triangle tests to determine the just-noticeable differences. The results suggest that the human ear is a rather poor instrument for describing subtle differences in the position, duration and latency of TMJ sounds, but is capable of detecting small differences in frequency. It is therefore doubtful that the human ear can distinguish the reciprocal click associated with disc displacement with reduction from clicks due to defects of form on the basis of their relative position in the envelope of movement.

    Notes: summary  In this study we suggest that the presence of abrasives in food items lead to physiologic responses that reduce the amount of tooth loss because of abrasion. Subjects were presented with two pairs of two-colour chewing gum, one sample had 0·5 g of an abrasive powder added. Subjects were instructed to chew for 10 or 20 chewing strokes and then remove the gum. After removal the chewing gum was placed in a plastic bag and flattened. Each pair of gums was compared on the basis of the amount of mixing observed. In all cases the addition of the abrasive powder resulted in slower chewing and less mixing. Salivary flow rate increased from a resting value of 0·6 to 0·9 mL min−1 when stimulated by the non-abrasive gum to 1·1 mL min−1 with the abrasive gum. This difference was significant (P 〈 0·05). We conclude that when abrasive particles are detected in the mouth, less bolus manipulation is performed and more saliva is secreted. These responses would have the effect of reducing loss of tooth substance at the expense of reduced cominution of the food.

    Notes: Samples of 17 different types of chewing gum weighing between 0·3 and 22 g were presented to eight subjects. After chewing the samples for between 20 and 100 strokes the boluses of gum were removed from the mouth and their length was measured. Bolus length increased with weight from 0·3 to 4 g, but remained constant between 4 and 18 g at which point it began to increase once more. The range of sizes associated with this plateau is similar to the range of sizes of natural bites with other foods.

    Notes: Several different mechanisms are potentially capable of generating sounds in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). These include impact, sliding and stick-slip friction, fluid dynamic effects and the release of elastic strain energy. It is the aim of this paper to provide a framework with which to separate sounds resulting from the different underlying causes. Each mechanism is described and its relevance to TMJ sounds and clinical significance discussed. Since it is not possible to observe these mechanisms in vivo the arguments are based mainly on analogies which are used to make predictions of the characteristic acoustic signatures of the sounds produced by these different mechanisms. In particular the changes in the characteristics of the sounds as parameters such as mandibular speed and loading are stressed. It is suggested that single short duration sounds (clicks) are due to impact, multiple short duration sounds (creaks) to stick-slip friction and defects of form and long duration sounds (crepitus) to simple sliding friction. Several other mechanisms which have no obvious clinical significance but which are capable of producing similar sounds are also described and methods of distinguishing them from the sounds that do have clinical implications are discussed.

    Notes: summary A non-invasive method of assessing the status of the temporomandibular joint is presented. The method involves placing a computer-controlled vibrator against a lower incisor, and microphones over the temporal bones. The amplitude of the signal transmitted is shown to be a function of the input frequency, the position of the mandible and the loading on the joint.

    Notes: Watt developed a classification of tooth contact sounds that distinguished between the short sharp, reproducible sounds heard when the teeth meet simultaneously and the dull prolonged, poorly reproducible sounds heard when tooth contacts are sequential. However, when a large occlusal prematurity, for instance a high restoration, is introduced, tooth contact sounds are also short sharp and highly reproducible. In this study, a method of distinguishing single from multiple tooth contact sounds is described, based on an analysis of the phase and amplitude of sounds detected by headphones placed over the ears.

    Notes: One of the major aims of the dental profession is the maintenance of oral function, specifically chewing ability. However, there are no generally accepted measures of chewing ability or even general agreement as to what level of tooth loss is deemed to require clinical intervention. There is therefore a need for simple objective tests of oral function. In this study a modification of the two-colour chewing gum test devised by Liedberg & Owall (1991), 1995) is described. In this test chewing gum containing two contrasting colours is chewed. On removal from the mouth the bolus is placed in a transparent plastic bag, flattened and a digital image is taken. Several image processing techniques are described and evaluated as measures of the amount of mixing present in the chewed gum. Flattening the gum was found to increase the accuracy of subjective evaluation, which was similar to that achieved by the image processing techniques.
