Abstract:This study investigates the reliability and interday reproducibility of consecutive sounds from chewing to swallowing under standardized conditions, aiming to establish convergent validity with occluding force and the glucose elution method. Seven males and four females, aged 28.3±2.4 years, participated. Baseline measurements included occlusal force and masticatory performance. In a soundproof room, participants chewed almonds at a set rhythm, with sounds recorded continuously from chewing onset to swallowing… Show more
