A Novel Non-invasive Mouthpiece Model for Evaluating Oral Hypofunction: Focus on Mastication and Stomatognathic Dynamics
The findings align with those of previous studies and validate the use of this mouthpiece model for simulating oral hypofunction. This model, adaptable for use in healthy individuals, supports larger-scale studies under controlled conditions to better elucidate the mechanisms underlying oral hypofunction.
