“…Our surgically reconstructed group has previously been compared with patients with an conventional obturator, most of them without implants 12,37‐39 . In contrast to our obturator group, the obturator group of this previous cross‐sectional study had a significant lower mean MAI index (27.3 ± 0.5) which represents very limited masticatory performance.…”

“…A recently published systematic review describes a risk of selection bias and heterogeneous measurements for studies comparing masticatory efficiency 7 . Additionally, the different methods of measuring masticatory performance: mixing ability test, colour changing chewing gum, and sieving method used in maxillectomy patients 11‐13,21,25,29,33‐36 complicate the comparison of the study results.…”
