Frequency of the chewing cycles was lower for hay than for pellets. Excursions of the virtual mandibular marker were significantly larger in all 3 directions when chewing hay compared to pellets.

i.e. The range of mediolateral displacement of the mandible was sufficient to give full occlusal contact of the upper and lower dental arcades when chewing hay but not when chewing pellets.

Define overjet and overbite

Alshami JVD 2024

A

Overjet (“overshot” jaw) occurs when the incisal surfaces of maxillary incisors project rostral to the incisal surfaces of mandibular incisors, and this can progress to overbite

Overbite (“parrot mouth”) occurs when the maxillary incisors occlude rostral to and directly in front of mandibular incisors.

Subocclusal dentin thickness and water cooling: Thicker subocclusal secondary dentine (odds ratio [OR] = 0.75/mm) and water cooling (OR = 0.14) were both protective against the likelihood of the pulp reaching the critical temperature.
