The study aims to establish the Masticatory Adaptation Experience Questionnaire (MAEQ) and investigate age‐related factors of masticatory adaptation. ABSTRACT Background There are various tests to assess the individual performance of mastication. However, it has remained unknown how individuals used adaptive (e.g., ‘increasing time to chew’) and ...
