Abstract:
According to its location and function, the oral mucosa can be divided into masticatory mucosa, coated mucosa and special mucosa. Oral masticatory mucosa, including hard palate and gingival mucosa, bears the chewing pressure and friction, and plays an important role in denture restoration. The study on biomechanics of oral masticatory mucosa is helpful to better understand and solve clinical problems related to oral masticatory mucosa. In this review, the progress of biomechanical researches on oral masticatory mucosa was summaried from three aspects: anatomical and physiological analysis, biomechanical characteristics (stress-strain curve, Poisson’s ratio, friction coefficient) and clinical significance, in order to provide further theoretical basis for the researches in oral prosthodontics-related areas.
