Please let me know if there are any Any studies, animal/human on masticatory muscle changes( Muscle fibers, type, capillarization, satellite cells and neurotrophins, nerve innervation) following dental Implant placement ?
Good Evening, So nice to hear from your side after long time.
There are numerous studies,Following are the few
Bersani E, Regalo SC, Siessere S, Santos CM, Chimello DT, De Oliveira RH, et al. Implant-supported prosthesis following Branemark protocol on electromyography of masticatory muscles. Journal of oral rehabilitation. 2011;38(9):668-73.
2. Tartaglia GM, Testori T, Pallavera A, Marelli B, Sforza C. Electromyographic analysis of masticatory and neck muscles in subjects with natural dentition, teeth-supported and implant-supported prostheses. Clinical oral implants research. 2008;19(10):1081-8.
3. Ferrario VF, Tartaglia GM, Maglione M, Simion M, Sforza C. Neuromuscular coordination of masticatory muscles in subjects with two types of implant-supported prostheses. Clinical oral implants research. 2004;15(2):219-25.
Thanks so much Dr. Sateesh. All these studies are of interest.
I was particularly interested in histological studies looking at neuromuscular changes (most of these studies are EMG) . If you come across some histological changes in muscle nerves after placement of dental implants do let me know, I will be thankful.
