Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationships between reference planes and oral functions on the habitual and non-habitual chewing sides.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-four subjects with no abnormalities in the maxillofacial region and oral functions were enrolled in this study. Relationships between angles between the reference plane (Frankfort horizontal plane, Camper's plane, and occlusal plane) and masticatory performance, occlusal force, and occlusal contact area by chewing side were examined. Regarding the measurement of reference planes, a creatively modified three-plane measuring device was used to measure angles between the reference planes. Images were taken from the right and left sides and angles between reference planes were measured. Masticatory performance was examined by measuring the amount of glucose extracted from a gummy jelly on the habitual and non-habitual chewing sides separately. Occlusal force and occlusal contact area were measured by occluding against pressure-sensitive film, and values on the habitual and non-habitual chewing sides were calculated and analyzed.

Results: The angle between Camper's plane and the occlusal plane correlated with masticatory performance on both the habitual chewing side (r = 0.47, < .01) and the non-habitual chewing side (r = 0.36, < .05). A correlation was observed between masticatory performance and occlusal force on the habitual chewing side (r = 0.46, < .01).

Conclusion: Masticatory performance became higher as occlusal plane inclination increased. This result represents essential knowledge for prosthetic treatment.

Purpose: To clarify the presence or absence of differences in path pattern and movement during mastication between the habitual and non-habitual chewing sides.

Methods: Participants were 225 healthy adults with natural dentition. Mandibular movement while chewing gummy jelly on each side was recorded, and masticatory path pattern was classified into five types (one normal and four abnormal).

Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is one of the major causes of fatality in India due to very high percentage of patients with habits of smoking and chewing tobacco and associated products. Being highly heterogeneous in nature, every patient poses a different challenge clinically. To understand disease progression in an improved way, knowledge of cross‑talk between tumor stroma and the tumor cells becomes indispensable.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine a reference value for masticatory performance (MP) by measuring the amount of glucose extraction (AGE) from chewing gummy jelly.

Methods: A total of 237 young adults (young group, 20-39 years), 147 middle-aged adults (middle-aged group, 40-59 years), and 177 older adults (old group, 60-87 years) participated in this study. All participants had natural dentition, excluding the third molars.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the stomatognathic system of individuals with controlled systemic hypertension through comparison with a disease-free control group. Seventy individuals (44 female and 26 male) were divided into two groups: a controlled systemic hypertension (n=35) and a disease-free control (n=35). The individuals were evaluated on the basis of masticatory cycle efficiency of the value of the ensemble-averaged integrated linear envelope to the electromyographic signal of the masseter and temporalis muscles in the habitual (peanuts and raisins) and non-habitual chewing (Parafilm M); molar bite force (right and left) and ultrasound images from the bilateral masseter and temporal muscles at rest and maximum voluntary contraction.
