Masticatory performance of complete denture wearers after using two adhesives: A crossover randomized clinical trial

The Influence of Age, Gender, Mandibular Bone Height, Previous Experience with Prostheses, and Fabrication Methods on Masticatory Performance of Complete Denture Wearers

“…Masticatory performance was assessed by using the sieve method . Participants were invited to chew five almonds deliberately for 20 chewing strokes.…”

“…Participants were invited to chew five almonds deliberately for 20 chewing strokes. A single calibrated operator counted the cycles and collected the comminuted particles in a container . Afterwards, each participant received 50 ml of water to rinse the mouth and remove remaining particles, which were also collected in a container.…”

“…175 × 78 × 40 mm) adapted on a paper filter to separate liquid and chewed material. Water (500 mL) was poured over the sieves to eliminate saliva present in almonds and reduce particle clumping …”
