Chewing side, bite force symmetry, and occlusal contact area of subjects with different facial vertical patterns

Abstract: Craniofacial dimensions influence oral functions; however, it is not known whether they are associated with function asymmetry. The objective of this study was to evaluate chewing side preference and lateral asymmetry of occlusal contact area and bite force of individuals with different craniofacial patterns. Seventy-eight dentate subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the VERT index as follows: (1) mesofacial, (2) brachyfacial and (3) dolichofacial. Chewing side preference was evaluated using jaw tr… Show more

“…Our study demonstrated increased tooth wear as a result by unilateral chewing reported almost equal among all social classes with slighter higher findings in upper socioeconomic class. Unilateral chewing results in higher impact force on the preferred side of chewing, resulting in greater occlusal contact and subsequent tooth wear and dentin exposure [32]. In present study, almost 47% of participants preferred Unilateral chewing, this is in accordance with study reported by Zhang J et al who reported 46.8% unilateral chewing preference among his study group [33].…”

“…The examinees that were not sure about their preferred chewing side were classified on the group of "both". In other side, there are papers that describe detecting of the chewing side preference, by viewing of the examinees during mastication or using kinesiographic movements by using jaw tracking movement [5] [12]. The position of the examinee was sitting in a dental chair with the head position, normal to the body and the mandible, parallel to the floor (Figure 1).…”

“…The force results from the action of the jaw elevator muscles (in turn, determined by the central nervous system and feedback from muscle spindles, mechanoreceptors, and nociceptors) modified by the craniomandibular biomechanics [4]. It is considered that the bite force is the key determinant of the masticator function [5]. Masticator function is predicted by a number of parameters, including bite force [6] and occlusal contact area [7], which suggests that the higher the bite force is and the larger the occlusal contact area is, the more efficient the mastication is.…”
