Masticatory performance in oral function assessment: Alternative methods
AbstractBackgroundMasticatory function declines with age or disease, implicating a poor chewing efficiency and an often‐unconscious change for a less healthy, yet easy to chew diet. Timely screening of masticatory function may foster an early‐onset diagnosis and potential treatment.

Impact of tooth wear on masticatory performance [PDF]
Masticatory performance is influenced by a number of variables such as age, gender, bite force, and occlusal units. Tooth wear may also play a role due to changes in occlusal area and in vertical dimension of occlusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of tooth wear on masticatory performance, using a communition test.Patients with ...
