“…In our study, the BF of IMO users was similar on both sides, indicating that IMO use equalizes the BF on both sides. This finding is in agreement with the results of Melo et al (26), but contrasts with the results of Rismanchian et al (11), who found that the BF in the dominant side was 21.7% higher. Nonetheless, the superior retention and stability provided by IMO likely allow for a more balanced mastication in most cases.…”

Evaluation of Bite Force and Masticatory Performance: Complete Denture vs Mandibular Overdenture Users

et al. 2020

This cross-sectional observational study with 24 patients evaluated differences in bite force (BF) and masticatory performance (MP) between conventional complete denture (CCD) and implant mandibular overdenture (IMO) users and the correlation between these variables. The BF test was performed bilaterally with an occlusal force device. During the MP test, patients were asked to chew Optocal particles for 40 cycles. The Shapiro Wilk test was employed to verify the normality of the data, the student t test to identify differences between groups, and Pearson’s correlation to investigate interrelationships between variables. A multiple linear regression was subsequently performed via the stepwise method. P values ≤0.05 were considered statistically significant. Unlike IMO users, CCD users presented a significant difference (25.6%) in BF between the dominant and non-dominant chewing side (p=0.04). IMO users presented significantly higher BF (p=0.01) without presenting a dominant side (p=0.38), and also performed significantly better for the following MP parameters: MPX50 values decreased by 27.25% in IMO users (p=0.01), MPB decreased by 48.38% (p=0.01), and ME 5.6 decreased by 53.25% (p=0.02), while ME2.8 increased by 151.57% (p=0.01). The BF and MPX50 in the IMO wearers group were negatively correlated (-0.57; p=0.05); this correlation coefficient was the only parameter included in the multivariate regression model. IMO users have higher BF and better masticatory performance than CCD users, especially in terms of chewed particles size reduction. MP is correlated with a higher BF in IMO users through better particle trituration.

“…For this reason, studies have been conducted in which mastication on the habitual chewing side is used in the evaluation of MP [6,9,12,14,15,21,[28][29][30]. However, some reports have concluded that there are no functional differences between the chewing sides [31]. It is necessary to be careful when selecting the habitual chewing side.…”

“…It is necessary to be careful when selecting the habitual chewing side. It has been pointed out that there are doubts regarding the validity of simply asking the participant which side is easier to chew on [31,32]. An electromyographic method [32] or a method of examining the first chewing side after the start of mastication [33] is used as more objective method selection the habitual chewing side.…”

Reference value of masticatory performance by measuring the amount of glucose extraction from chewing gummy jelly

Therefore, in this study, the AGE of adults with completely natural dentition was investigated to clarify the reference value of MP by measuring the AGE from chewing gummy jelly. Clarifying the reference value of AGE in healthy adults with natural dentition is clinically significant, because it can be used to evaluate the degree of masticatory performance and the therapeutic effect, or to detect people with reduced masticatory performance.

“…G * Power software version 3.1 (Kiel University) was used to calculate the sample size. The effect size was set to 0.8, with reference to previous studies [11,14] (d = 0.65, 0.88) [20]. When the α value was set to 0.05, detection power was set to 0.8, and effect size d to 0.8, the required number of samples was 52.…”

“…Muscle echo intensity can be evaluated by an ultrasonic diagnostic device that identi es non-contractile tissues, such as fat and brous tissue in the muscle, and indicates muscle quality [10]. Several previous studies have reported that MA, MOF, and MMT are greatly improved with dental prosthetic treatments such as implants and dentures [11][12][13]. In addition to prosthetic treatment, isometric exercise is used as a method of maintaining oral function.…”

Maintaining oral function is important in older individuals with missing teeth for leading a healthy and independent life. This study aimed to evaluate whether simple isometric exercises can maintain and improve oral function (maximum occlusal force [MOF], masticatory ability [MA]) and masticatory muscle properties (masseter muscle thickness [MMT] and echo intensity [MMEI]) in older adults in the maintenance phase of removable prosthetic treatment. Participants were randomly allocated into intervention and control groups. The intervention group was instructed to perform maximum clenching for 10 s, whereas the control group was instructed to tap the teeth at an arbitrary speed for 10 s. Both were repeated five times at an interval of 5 s between each activity and twice a day for 4 weeks. The outcomes were measured after a month of exercise. The intervention group showed significant improvement in MOF, MMT during contraction, and MMEI during contraction. There was no significant difference in the MA and MMEI at rest. In the control group, no improvement was observed in any of the parameters. When the isometric exercises were performed using a mouthpiece, there was improvement in oral function and masseter muscle properties in older individuals with Eichner B status who used dentures.

Maximum Bite Force of Edentulous Patients before and after Dental Implant Rehabilitation: Long‐Term Follow‐Up and Facial Type Influence

Abstract: There was no statistically significant relation between MBF and the dominant chewing side. It can be concluded that mandibular rehabilitation with dental implants improves MBF independent of the facial pattern and dominant chewing side.
