Colorimetric determination of the masticatory performance

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1977
SummaryA description is given of a colorimetric method to measure the masticatory function. It is based on the release of dye when chewing raw carrots. Information is given about the reproducibility of the method. The procedure takes 30 min for eitht tests on one subject and can be carried out with standard laboratory epuipment.

Masticatory performance in patients with myasthenia gravis

Archives of Oral Biology, 2002
Masticatory muscle electromyograms (EMGs) were recorded while patients with bulbar myasthenia gravis chewed artificial food and compared with those of patients with ocular myasthenia gravis, patients in clinical remission who had previously suffered from bulbar myasthenia gravis and healthy individuals.

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 ...

Relationship Between Chewing Rate and Masticatory Performance

CRANIO®, 2013
The influence of mandibular movement timing on food breakdown remains unclear. The authors, therefore, sought to relate chewing rate with masticatory performance. Chewing rate, defined as the number of masticatory cycles habitually achieved per minute, was measured in 55 healthy dentulous subjects (age, 22.2 +/- 5.0 years).

Chewing Performance Calculator: An interactive clinical method for quantifying masticatory performance

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2021
There is a need to quantitatively differentiate between impaired and normal mastication by using straightforward and reliable methods because currently available methods are expensive, complex, and time-consuming.The purpose of this clinical study was to assess the reliability, validity, and clinical utility of a new Web-based software program designed

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.

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 ...
