Abstract Aims Tooth-contact sensations are considered essential to boost jaw adductor muscles during mastication. However, no previous studies have explained the importance of the inhibitory reflex of human anterior-tooth (ANT)-contacts in mastication. Here I present the “reciprocal reflex-control-hypothesis” of mammalian mastication. Subjects and setting of the study I demonstrate the hypothesis with the live kinematics of free jaw-closures as inferred from T-Scan recordings of dental patients. Results The jaw-closures started with negligible force, predominantly with ANT-contacts (the AF-bites). The first ANT-contact inhibited the first kinematic tilt of the mandible, whereas the bites starting from a back-tooth (BAT)-contact (the BF-bites) accelerated the first tilt. The second tilt established a low-force static tripod of the ANT- and bilateral BAT-contacts for a fixed mandible-maxilla relation. Thereafter, semi-static bite force increased rapidly, relatively more in the BAT-area. Discussion and Conclusions In the vertical-closure phase of chewing, the primate joint-fulcrum (class 3 lever) conflicts with the food-bolus-fulcrum in the BAT-area (class 1 lever). The resilient class 3 and 1 lever systems are superseded by an almost static mechanically more advantageous class 2 lever with a more rigid fulcrum at the most anterior ANT-contact. For humans, the class 2 levered delivery of force also enables forceful horizontal food grinding to be extended widely to the BAT-area.

Abstract Introduction Absolute dysphagia secondary to impacted soft food bolus in oesophagus can occur due to various reasons. Existing pathway was ENT if patient points above the suprasternal notch and GI if below or at the level of notch. Objectives To assess management in patients with soft food bolus dysphagia and reviewing old pathway. Method Data was collected via clinical governance, case notes on track and analysed overall pathway of patients and discussed with the consultants; Paid attention to patients requiring surgical interventions, compared the complications 0f OGD and rigidscopy. Also, effectiveness of Buscopan weighing its adverse effects. Results Total of 147 cases were included, 2 patients from upper GI being secondarily referred to ENT, 18 of ENT with GI, 3.8 of 19% complications has risk of perforations with Rigid scope. 2.6% had risk with OGD with no perforations. 2% needed OGD after rigid. 85% underwent intervention after Buscopan. Conclusions There is no compelling evidence for Buscopan - to be used only for patient satisfaction. Combining Multiple transfers & complex patient journeys causing delay for treatments with less complications of OGD, soft food bolus should be managed by local gastro/gen surgery teams who can provide timely appropriate intervention, ENT involvement only if airway or pharyngeal concern.
