Factors related to masticatory performance in junior and senior high school students and young adults: A cross-sectional study

Abstract

Mastication is a comprehensive process comprising multiple factors, including individual oral functions such as the maximum occlusal force and tongue pressure and tongue-lip motor function. Exploring their interrelationship is important for understanding the impact of these factors on masticatory performance. However, few studies have focused on these factors in adolescents and young adults. Only one study has investigated the development of masticatory performance in 6-17-year-olds according to sex [9]. Furthermore, although multivariate analysis has been used to identify factors J Prosthodont Res. 2022; **(**):

Main Methodological Aspects of Determining the Chewing Efficiency

“…At different performance levels, esports is defined as a type of competitive activity in which gamers use their physical and mental abilities to compete in various games in a virtual electronic environment [1]. The primary motivation of an esportsman in his professional activity is to defeat his opponent [2,3,4].…”

“…The bite force is the force generated by the masticatory muscles at the moment of occlusion. This indicator serves as a basis for assessing the effectiveness of various dental procedures, including orthopedic and orthodontic treatment; or for determining the impact of such deformities of the masticatory system as malocclusion [3].…”
