Simplified method of estimating masticatory performance

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1999
Methods which measure masticatory performance include gravimetric, volumetric and direct observation which depend on the weight, volume and size, respectively, of a test food once chewing is completed. Almonds, one of the most common test foods used, have a convenient size and texture. However, due to their oily content and mixing with saliva, washing

Masticatory function—a review of the literature

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1976
SummaryA review and evaluation of the literature on mastication has been undertaken. Part Idiscusses the form of the masticatory cycle in the natural and artificial dentitions, including the controversial question of whether tooth contact occurs during function.

Determinants of masticatory performance in dentate adults

Archives of Oral Biology, 2001
Masticatory performance results from a complex interplay of direct and indirect effects, yet most studies employ univariate models. This study tested a multivariate model of masticatory performance for dentate subjects. Explanatory variables included number of functional tooth units, bite force, sex, age, masseter cross-sectional area, presence of ...

Masticatory performance is influenced by masticatory muscle activity balance and the cumulative occlusal contact area

Archives of Oral Biology, 2021
To investigate the influence of masticatory muscle activity balance, occlusal contact area balance and the area of occlusal contact on masticatory performance in healthy dentate adults.This cross-sectional study included ninety-three healthy subjects with complete dentition.

Determinants of masticatory performance assessed by mixing ability tests

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2022
Studies determining the main predictors of masticatory performance by using mixing ability tests are sparse.The purpose of this clinical study was to identify potential determinants of masticatory performance assessed by analyzing a patient's masticatory ability using bicolored chewing gum and visual, quantitative, and interactive methods.Nondental ...

Normal masticatory performance in young adults and children

Archives of Oral Biology, 1996
Previous studies have paid little attention to either the development or sexual dimorphism of masticatory performance. The aim of this study was to measure and compare the masticatory performance of adults and children. Forty-seven healthy and normal individuals (15 adult men, 15 adult women, 15 young girls and 2 young boys) were selected, based on ...

Swallowing threshold and masticatory performance in dentate adults

Physiology & Behavior, 2004
A variety of both natural and artificial foods are commonly used for the evaluation of masticatory function. We compared swallowing thresholds of three natural foods (peanuts, cheese and carrots) to those of a standardized artificial test food (Optocal Plus) and examined the relationship between masticatory performance and the swallowing threshold ...

A multifactorial model of masticatory performance: the Suita study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2015
SummaryPrevious studies have identified various factors related to masticatory performance. This study was aimed to investigate variations and impacts of factors related to masticatory performance among different occlusal support areas in general urban population in Japan.

The effect of experimental balancing interferences on masticatory performance

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2014
SummaryImmediate adaptation to experimental‐balancing interferences is known to affect jaw kinematics and electromyographic activity (EMG). However, little is known about the influence on masticatory performance parameters. This study hypothesises that balancing‐side interferences significantly reduce the performance of the masticatory system.

Relationship between Oral Sensitivity and Masticatory Performance

Journal of Dental Research, 2004
The size of a bolus determines how it will be manipulated in the mouth and swallowed. We hypothesized that mucosal sensitivity would be important for masticatory function. The accuracy of solid object size perception, spatial acuity, and food particle size reduction during mastication were measured in 22 healthy adults with/without topical anesthesia ...
