There are four classical muscles of mastication. (wikipedia.org)
During mastication, three muscles of mastication (musculi masticatorii) are responsible for adduction of the jaw, and one (the lateral pterygoid) helps to abduct it. (wikipedia.org)
The muscles of mastication originate on the skull and insert into the mandible, thereby allowing for jaw movements during contraction. (wikipedia.org)
Each of these primary muscles of mastication is paired, with each side of the mandible possessing one of the four. (wikipedia.org)
Unlike most of the other facial muscles, which are innervated by the facial nerve (or CN VII), the muscles of mastication are innervated by the trigeminal nerve (or CN V). More specifically, they are innervated by the mandibular branch, or V3. (wikipedia.org)
While these four muscles are the primary participants in mastication, other muscles are usually if not always helping the process, such as those of the tongue and the cheeks. (wikipedia.org)
Wikimedia Commons has media related to Muscles of mastication. (wikipedia.org)
They are also found in oral and perioral tissues, particularly in the muscles of mastication, facial expression, the suprahyoid muscles, and the postcervical musculature as well as in the tongue, buccal mucosa, and lip [ 2 - 4 ]. (hindawi.com)

Chew3

Mastication, or chewing, is increased in those who chew gum. (healthnews.com)
Mandible2

Bushfire fuel mulching or mastication, is this the answer to effective fuel reduction? (thehowittsociety.com)
What then of mulching or mastication as a method of bushfire fuel reduction? (thehowittsociety.com)
Unlike fuel reduction by burning, mulching or mastication is used to bring elevated and near-surface fuel to ground level, thereby resulting in an increase of "surface fine fuel" reaching 50 mm deep - classified as "Extreme" in the Overall fuel hazard assessment guide" - and possibly deeper depending on the bulk of the vegetation being treated in this manner. (thehowittsociety.com)
Mastication, often referred to as chewing, is a fundamental process in the consumption of food. (edgedental.ca)
Those who are prone to headaches or migraines may need to limit chewing gum as the chewing or mastication action may be a trigger for headache onset . (healthnews.com)
Relationship between mastication2
This article explores the multifactorial relationship between mastication and cognition , with a focus on dementia . (bvsalud.org)
The relationship between mastication and cognition has also been researched in human studies, but a cause-effect relationship has not been proven. (bvsalud.org)
Medial1
The Medial Pterygoid Muscle is the deepest situated muscle of mastication. (smilescare.com)
Facial2
The goals of static suspension procedures are to protect the cornea by restoring eyelid competence, to enhance mastication and speech production through commissure elevation, and to achieve cosmetic improvement by restoring facial symmetry at rest. (medscape.com)
Although modern history of orthognathic surgery patients with dysmorphophobia (feeling started in the 1970s, as it gradually became unattractive despite having almost normal a routine choice, with benefits such as imt appearance) may benefit from surgery, the provement of mastication and reduction of initial treatment should be psychiatric rather facial pain and more stable results even in than surgical [ 12 ].

Muscle4
It is one of the main muscle which helps in the process of mastication. (intelligentdental.com)
This is a small muscle which also helps in the mastication process. (intelligentdental.com)
5,7 It can also naturally occur from a TMJ click of sufficient intensity as muscle spindles are excited by vibration or jaw jerk, 6 or occur unintentionally due to a deflective tooth contact during normal mastication. (scholasticahq.com)
