Abstract

Pulmonary aspiration occurred in 16 out of 65 patients (24·6%) undergoing fibre-endoscopic examinations of the upper gastrointestinal tract under intravenous sedation, but it was rarely followed by serious complications. Aspiration was found to occur under sedation with diazepam alone, diazepam with atropine, and with chlormethiazole. The most important factors contributing to aspiration are the local pharyngeal anaesthesia and the mechanical interference of the fibrescope with laryngeal closure and swallowing. The patient is also at risk of aspiration after completion of the procedure and should remain recumbent until the local anaesthesia has worn off.

4. Activity of the Digastric Muscle in Swallowing and Chewing.

Author

MUNRO, R. R.

Subjects
DEGLUTITION, MASTICATION, ELECTROMYOGRAPHY, MUSCLES, SUBMENTAL triangle, MANDIBLE
Abstract

Electromyographic investigation indicates that the two bellies of the digastric muscle contract simultaneously in swallowing and in the open phase of chewing. However, about the time of tooth contact in chewing the posterior belly is active, while the anterior belly usually is inactive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5. Intermaxillary Relationships During Deglutition.

Subjects
DEGLUTITION, JAWS, PROSTHODONTICS, DENTISTRY, TOOTH abrasion, DEGLUTITION disorders
Abstract

Investigations were performed to assess the degree of tooth contact during deglutition. Graphic recordings of vertical jaw movement during deglutition were obtained from partially edentulous patients by means of an intraoral transmitting system. The incidence and position of tooth contact and its relationship to prosthodontics was studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

9. A Study of Posterior Mandibular Movements from Intercuspal Occlusal Position.

Author

KYDD, WILLIAM L. and SANDER, ALLAN

Subjects
HUMAN mechanics, MANDIBLE, DENTAL occlusion, MASTICATION, DEGLUTITION
Abstract

The purpose of this research was to report the posterior movements of the mandible occurring during normal opening and closing, during the swallowing cycle, and with and without the aid of an appropriate retractor. The possibility of retrusive movement from the intercuspal occlusal position during swallowing has been hypothesized in people with clinically normal occlusion, but neither the frequency with which this movement exists nor the vector of this movement has been defined.

10. ELECTRICAL ACTION CURRENTS DURING MASTICATION.

Author

NEUMANN, H. H.

Subjects
MASTICATION, ORAL habits, DEGLUTITION, SUGAR, ELECTRIC currents
Abstract

The article discusses an experiment that uses electrical apparatus to measure how much masticatory effort is required by different foods. Electromyogram values were calculated from young adult males chewing a variety of foods. Results show deglutition need not be preceded by more than minimal mastication, and that sugar cane requires substantial mastication.
