Association and relevant factors between objective masticatory performance and subjective masticatory ability among community-dwelling older adults. [PDF]
J Dent SciBACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Dentists often focus on masticatory performance (MP) rather than masticatory ability (MA) and treatment expectations when evaluating older adults. This study aimed to determine if MA aligns with MP and to explore influencing factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study utilized a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling,
