This study examined the differences in the masticatory function of patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in Korea. The experimental groups were as follows: 23 patients with painful arthralgia classified as pain group according to the research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorder (RDC/TMC) and 28 patients with pain-free disc displacement and reduction classified as clicking group. The subjects were obtained from those who had visited Yonsei University Dental Hospital from 2007 to 2008. Twenty dental students without TMD symptoms were enroled as the normal control group. The Mixing Ability Index (MAI) was used as the objective index, and the Food Intake Ability (FIA) Index, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and oral health impact profile (OHIP) were used as the subjective indices. The MAI, FIA and VAS were significantly lower in the pain group than in the normal and clicking groups (P<0·05). The pain group showed a MAI, FIA and VAS of 16%, 81% and 67%, respectively, compared to that of the normal group. However, there were no significant differences in the MAI, FIA and VAS between the clicking and normal groups. The pain and clicking groups showed a 1·7 and 1·4 times higher OHIP value than the normal group (P<0·05). The MAI and subjective indices, such as the FIA (r=0·40) and VAS (r=0·48), showed a moderate correlation (P<0·01). In conclusion, pain is the main factor for the reduced masticatory function in patients with TMD in Korea, and the joint sound, not the masticatory function, affects the declining OHIP.

“…Resection size of malignant tumours was considered larger than that of benign tumours, which caused neck dissection and glossectomy. Previous studies reported that tongue mobility affects speech and mastication 7,11,17,19 . So in the case of glossectomy, prosthodontists should consider a prosthesis shape that helps oral functions such as food mixing and articulation.…”

“…In the case of mastication in maxillectomy patients, the number of occluding post-canine teeth and the patient's sex affected masticatory performance 16 . With regard to mastication in mandibulectomy and/or glossectomy patients, resection of the mandibular bone, bone continuity, number of teeth and mobility of the tongue were important factors 17 . Resection of the soft palate affected speech in maxillectomy patients 18 , whereas ease of tongue movement, a lack of soft tissue grafting and continuity of the mandibular bone affected speech in mandibulectomy patients 19 .…”

This study was aimed to evaluate the masticatory efficiency after botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection during 12 weeks using objective and subjective test. Also, we compared the difference of masticatory efficiency between group that injected into the masseter muscle only (M-group) and group that injected into the masseter and temporalis muscle (M-T group). The mixing ability index (MAI) was used as the objective indicator, and visual analogue scale (VAS) and food intake ability (FIA) index were used as the subjective indicators.It was concluded that masticatory efficiency was significantly lowered after a BTX-A injection into the masticatory muscle, but it gradually recovered in a predictable pattern by the 12 weeks. The disturbance of subjective masticatory efficiency was lasted longer than objective masticatory efficiency. The masticatory efficiency was lower in M-T group than M group. It was statistically significant in the VAS and FIA at 4 weeks, but the MAI showed no significancy. After 4weeks, there was rapid recovery of muscle function in M-T group, and the difference between two groups was not significant. It could be concluded that there will be no serious disturbance of mastication compared to injection is done only into the masseter muscle, even if injection is done into the masseter and temporalis muscle in dose of this study. According to the food properties, it was confirmed that people feel more discomfort on taking hard and tough foods after BTX-A injection and not only hard foods, but also intake of soft and runny foods were influenced by botulinum toxin injection.
