Abstract

BACKGROUND: Masticatory function is an important determinant of oral health and a contributing factor in the maintenance of general health. Currently, objective assessment of chewing function is a clinical challenge. Previously, several methods have been developed and proposed, but implementing these methods in clinics may not be feasible. Therefore, more efforts are needed for accurate assessment of chewing function and clinical use.
