Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The advantages and disadvantages of frequently changing sides while masticating remain unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this clinical study was to determine the effect of varying the frequency of masticatory side switches on masticatory mixing ability and sensory perception in dentate adults. MATERIAL AND METHODS This nonblinded, randomized 12-period crossover study, conducted at Barcelona Dental School from January to March 2022, included 36 healthy adults with natural dentitions (median age, 23.5 years; 26 women). Participants were randomly allocated to 12 sequences and performed 12 masticatory assays masticating a 2-colored gum for 40 cycles each using the following masticatory styles as interventions: freestyle, unilateral right, unilateral left, and switching sides 5%, 15%, and 25%. The primary outcome was the mixing ability index (MAI), defined as the standard deviation of the red channel intensity of the masticated gum in the color-histogram plugin of the ImageJ software program. Participants also rated the perceived flavor intensity and salivary flow on a visual analog scale. Data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance (α=.05). RESULTS The MAI was similar for all masticatory styles (P=.63). Participants perceived greater flavor intensity (mean difference: 8%, 95% CI: 1% to 15%) and salivary flow (mean difference: 11%, 95% CI: 0% to 21%) with 25% side switching compared with freestyle or unilateral mastication. CONCLUSIONS Frequently switching the masticatory side while masticating gum does not alter the mixing ability, but it appears to enhance salivary flow and flavor intensity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the reproducibility and reliability of a novel electromyogram (EMG) device with a flexible sheet sensor for measuring muscle activity related to mastication and swallowing. METHODS We developed a new EMG device made of elastic sheet electrodes to measure the masseter and digastric muscle activities for evaluating mastication and swallowing. To examine the measurement reproducibility of the new EMG device, masseter muscle activity was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Further, we measured the maximum amplitude, duration, integrated value, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) using the new EMG device and conventional EMG devices and evaluated the reliability using ICC and Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS We confirmed high ICC (1,1) and ICC (2,1) scores (0.92 and 0.88, respectively) while measuring the reproducibility of the new EMG device. When compared to the active electrode EMG device, we found a high correlation for the maximum amplitude (0.90), duration (0.99), integrated values (0.90), and SNR (0.75), with no observation of significant fixed errors. Moreover, the regression coefficient was not significant for any of the evaluation items and no proportional error was observed. Compared with the passive electrode EMG device, the maximum amplitude and duration were highly correlated (0.73 and 0.89). In addition, the SNR exhibited a significant fixed error. In contrast, the regression coefficient was not significant for any of the evaluation items and no proportional error was observed. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the new EMG device can be used to reliably and reproducibly evaluate muscle activity during mastication and swallowing.

Side switch frequency while masticating different chewing materials, and its relationship with other masticatory behaviors and sensory perceptions. Arch Oral Biol 2023; 155:105804. [PMID: 37722154 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2023.105804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study aimed to establish normative values for masticatory side switch (MSS) frequency in young Mexican adults and to assess the relationship between various indices and MSS frequency when masticating different chewing materials. DESIGN We enrolled 101 dentate adults and performed four masticatory assays that involved masticating different chewing materials (i.e., two-colored chewing gum, sweet cracker, salty cracker, and bread). Participants were asked to eat and swallow these foods and to chew the gum for 40 cycles and the following indices were determined: MSS index (MSSI), unilateral chewing index, chewing cycle duration, and number of cycles before terminal swallowing. The participants then rated perceived flavor intensity, salivary flow, and muscle fatigue during each trial. RESULTS The MSSI ranged from 0.03-0.06 (10th percentile) to 0.48-0.54 (90th percentile). A repeated-measures general linear model revealed a mean MSSI value of 0.28 (95 %CI, 0.25-0.30) adjusted by several factors. Male sex, soft food, and the last chewing period were associated with lower MSS frequency. Spearman's test showed a high correlation for the MSSI among the different foods. MSSI correlated negatively with the unilateral chewing index for each chewing material and with number of cycles for the sweet cracker. However, no significant correlation was detected between MSSI and sensory perception. CONCLUSIONS In healthy dentate individuals, the mean MSS relative frequency is 25-30 % with an 80-central percentile of 5-50 % of the maximum possible side changes. Lower MSS frequencies were detected in men, when chewing soft food, and during the final chewing period.

Abstract
Aims This study aimed to determine the patterns of chewing and swallowing in healthy subjects with different food textures. Methods This cross-sectional study included 75 subjects who were asked to video record themselves while chewing different food samples of varying textures, including sweet and salty food. The food samples were coco jelly, gummy jelly, biscuit, potato crisp, and roasted nuts. A texture profile analysis test was used to measure the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the food samples. Chewing patterns were investigated by measuring the chewing cycle prior to the first swallow (CS1), the chewing cycle until the last swallow (CS2), and the accumulation of chewing time from the first chewing to the last swallowing (STi). Swallowing patterns were evaluated by calculating the swallowing threshold, which is the chewing time/duration prior to the first swallow (STh). The number of swallows for each food sample was also recorded. Results There was a statistically significant difference in the CS2 of potato crisps, as well as the STi of coco jelly, gummy jelly, and biscuits between male and female subjects. A significant positive correlation was found between hardness and STh. There was a significant negative correlation between gumminess and all chewing and swallowing parameters, as well as chewiness and CS1. This study also found s significant positive correlation between dental pain, CS1, CS2, and STh of gummy jelly, as well as dental pain and CS1 of biscuits. Conclusions Females require longer chewing time for harder foods. Food hardness is positively related to the chewing duration prior to the first swallow (swallowing threshold/STh). Food chewiness has a negative correlation with the chewing cycle prior to the first swallow (CS1). Food gumminess is inversely related to all the chewing and swallowing parameters. Dental pain is associated with an increased chewing cycle and swallowing time of hard foods.

Abstract
A bolus-oriented artificial oral mastication system was developed to simulate the dynamics of food mastication in the human mouth. The system consists of a chewing unit, a bolus forming unit, and provisions for the dynamic incorporation of saliva during mastication. The system performance was validated with in vivo trials (n = 25) considering time-dependent changes in particle size, textural attributes and rheological behavior of the bolus. Idli, a fermented and steamed black gram-rice-based Indian food was considered the model soft food for all trials measured in triplicates. The mastication dynamics were evaluated by analyzing bolus properties during every 3 s of mastication. Large strain shear rheology tests revealed that the viscosity of the sample decreased over time. Results of in vivo trials follow close trends in particle size and rheological behavior and have no significant change in correlation with in vitro mastication results. Similar observations were made in the half softening time of idli during mastication as determined using the relative change in hardness (hardness ratio (Ht/H0)) values fitted to the Weibull model. Also, a model to simulate the time-dependent changes in bolus adhesiveness was developed.

Effect of side switch frequency on masticatory performance and rhythm in adults with natural dentition: A randomized crossover trial. J Oral Rehabil 2022; 49:373-380. [PMID: 35108409 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 01/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationships between the frequency of masticatory side switches (MSS) and other aspects of masticatory function are not clear. OBJECTIVES In this study, we determined the effect of MSS frequency on masticatory performance and rhythm in dentate adults and explored the between-subject relationships among side switch frequency, masticatory rhythm, and laterality. METHODS In this crossover study, subjects performed six masticatory patterns of five trials each, chewing bagged silicone for 20 cycles. The six patterns were freestyle, unilateral right, unilateral left, and switching sides one, three, and five times. Masticatory performance and rhythm were determined for each style by median particle size (MPS) and chewing cycle duration, respectively. In the freestyle mastication pattern, masticatory laterality was assessed by the unilateral chewing index and the frequency of MSS was assessed by the MSS Index. Data were analyzed using Friedman's test and repeated-measures analysis of variance. RESULTS We included 29 participants (15 women; median age, 23 years). No significant between-subjects differences in the MPS were detected obtained by switching one, three, or five times per trial. Chewing cycle duration increased with the MSS number per trial. During freestyle mastication, the MSS Index was inversely correlated with the unilateral chewing index (Rho -0.569; 95%CI -0.25 to -0.78; P=0.001; Spearman test), but not with the MPS or chewing cycle duration. CONCLUSION Differences in MSS frequency do not affect masticatory performance, but they do alter the masticatory rhythm. Individuals with a higher MSS frequency also have a more symmetrical chewing pattern.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Whether treatment with an implant-supported fixed partial prosthesis (ISFPP) affects the masticatory rhythm in patients with unilateral posterior missing teeth is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to determine the change in masticatory rhythm in participants with unilateral posterior missing teeth 3 months after treatment with an ISFPP and to assess whether treatment influenced the stability of the masticatory rhythm. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty participants (mean age 59 years; 17 women) with unilateral posterior missing teeth were treated with 1-, 2-, or 3-unit ISFPPs. Ten healthy individuals (mean age 36 years; 8 women) with a complete natural dentition were included in a control group. In this prospective study, each participant performed 3 masticatory assays (freestyle, unilateral right, and unilateral left) at baseline and at the 3-month follow-up. Each assay comprised 5 trials of 20 cycles masticating pieces of silicone placed in a latex bag. The time needed to complete the 20 masticatory cycles per trial was measured, and the mean masticatory frequency was calculated for each assay. Coefficients of variation were then calculated from the 5 mean values of the masticatory trials. Differences in the data at 3 months and baseline were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon or paired t tests. The control and treated groups were compared by analysis of variance or Mann-Whitney U tests (α=.05). RESULTS After 3 months, participants treated with ISFPPs showed an increase of 8.7% in masticatory frequency during freestyle mastication (P<.001) and an 8.0% increase during unilateral mastication on the treated side (P<.01). At baseline, the coefficient of variation of masticatory frequency on the treated side was higher in the ISFPP group than in the control group during unilateral mastication (P=.033). Three months after treatment, there was a significant reduction in the coefficient of variation during unilateral mastication on the treated side of the ISFPP group (P<.001). The treatment group also reached a masticatory frequency similar to that of the control group (75 and 78 cycles per minute, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Treatment with ISFPPs accelerated the masticatory rhythm of individuals with unilateral posterior missing teeth, who achieve similar rhythms to those with complete natural dentitions. The stability of the masticatory rhythm was also restored, indicating an improvement in masticatory function.

Abstract
Background This study was conducted to analyze the activity of masticatory muscles depending on the presence of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) when foods of various hardness are masticated. Material/Methods We enrolled 20 subjects (13 men and 7 women) who met our selection criteria, and they were divided into 3 groups (the Disorder Group, the Malalignment Group, and the Control Group) based on surveys and screening inspection. The average of reference voluntary contraction (RVC) was used to measure masticatory muscle activity. Using surface electromyography (SEMG) for each group during masticatory activity, the activities of the masseter muscle and temporalis muscle were measured based on the hardness of 3 different foods (soft, sticky, and hard). Results Characteristics of these 3 groups prior to the experiment were identical, and subsequent findings were as follows: First, when masticating sticky food, the Disorder Group and Malalignment Group showed significant differences from the Control Group in activities of the masseter muscle and temporalis muscle (p<0.05). Second, when masticating hard food, the Malalignment Group and Control Group showed significant differences from the Disorder Group in the masseter muscle and temporalis muscle activities (p<0.05). Based on these findings, the study showed that malalignment affects movement of the temporomandibular joint during mastication of sticky food, and the temporomandibular joint movement was affected by the presence of pain during mastication of hard food. Conclusions Our results provide basic data useful in the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorder, as well as guiding future studies on this topic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study assessed changes in masticatory laterality in patients with unilateral posterior missing teeth 3 months after treatment with an implant-supported fixed partial prosthesis (ISFPP). METHODS Thirty patients with unilateral posterior missing teeth participated in this prospective study. They were treated with one-, two- or three-unit ISFPPs. The control group comprised 10 healthy individuals with complete natural dentition. Each participant performed masticatory assays at baseline and at 3-month follow-up, chewing pieces of silicon inside a latex bag. Masticatory laterality was determined using three different methods: assessment of the first chewing cycle, of all cycles and application of a visual analogue scale. Data were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis or the Mann-Whitney U test as appropriate. RESULTS Three months after treatment, a significant change in the asymmetry index towards the treated side and a significant reduction in the Unilateral Chewing Index were observed in the ISFPP group. No significant differences in masticatory laterality between groups were detected at 3-month follow-up, regardless of the method assessed. CONCLUSION Treatment with ISFPPs alters the masticatory laterality, moving it to the treated side and increasing the degree of bilateral chewing in patients with unilateral posterior missing teeth.

A New Tridimensional Insight into Geometric and Kinematic Characteristics of Masticatory Cycles in Participants with Normal Occlusion. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:2527463. [PMID: 30255093 PMCID: PMC6140131 DOI: 10.1155/2018/2527463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2018] [Accepted: 08/14/2018] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the general, geometric, and kinematic characteristics of the masticatory cycle's movements in a tridimensional way, using a method developed by our study group to provide a new insight into the analysis of mandibular movements due to advancement in the potential of computational analysis. Ten individuals (20.1 ± 2.69 years), molar class I, without mandibular movement problems participated in this study. The movements of the masticatory cycles, frontal and sagittal mandibular border movements, were recorded using 3D electromagnetic articulography and processed with computational scripts developed by our research group. The number of chewing cycles, frequency (cycles/s), chewing cycle areas/mandibular border movements areas ratios, and the mouth opening and closing speeds on the 3D trajectory of the chewing cycle were compared. The cycles were divided and analyzed in thirds. The masticatory cycles showed high variation among the individuals (21.6 ± 9.4 cycles); the frequency (1.46 ± 0.21 cycles/s) revealed a moderate positive correlation (R = 0.52) with the number of cycles. The frontal area ratios between the cycle area and the mandibular border movement presented higher values in the first third (6.65%) of the masticatory cycles, and the ratios of sagittal areas were higher and more variable (first, 7.67%; second, 8.06%; and third, 10.04%) than the frontal view. The opening and closing mouth speeds were greater in the second third of the masticatory cycles (OS, 57.82 mm/s; CS, 58.34 mm/s) without a significant difference between the opening and closing movements when the same thirds were evaluated. Further studies are necessary to improve the understanding of the masticatory cycles regarding the standardization of parameters and their values.

Validity and reliability of the mixing ability test as masticatory performance outcome in children with spastic cerebral palsy and children with typical development: A pilot study. J Oral Rehabil 2018; 45:790-797. [PMID: 29972243 DOI: 10.1111/joor.12690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2018] [Revised: 06/04/2018] [Accepted: 06/30/2018] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mixing ability test (MAT) as an outcome measure of masticatory performance is largely used in studies with adults, but not yet with children. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to test the construct validity and the test-retest reliability of the MAT in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) and children with typical development (TD). METHOD The results of the MAT were correlated with tongue movements, mandible movements, relative muscle contraction and clinical observation measured with ultrasound, 3D kinematics, electromyography (EMG) and relevant items of the mastication observation and evaluation (MOE) instrument, respectively. Moreover, the between-groups effect was tested. Test-retest reliability was calculated with an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM). RESULTS Twenty-one children (seven children with spastic CP and 14 children with TD) participated in this study. The MAT scores showed moderate to good correlations with some variables of the tongue movements, horizontal mandible movements and occlusion duration, relative muscle contraction of the left temporalis and all six MOE items (-0.80 < r < 0.49). The MAT scores were significantly higher for children with CP (mean 22.6; SD 2.4) compared to children with TD (mean 19.9; SD 1.9). The test-retest reliability had an ICC of 0.7 and a SEM of 1.16 (±5% of the mean score). CONCLUSION These results indicate that the MAT is suitable and complementary to ultrasound, 3D kinematics, EMG and observation to compare the masticatory performance between children with CP and children with TD, with an acceptable test-retest reliability.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypotheses that when presented with foods that could be chewed in different ways, (1) are participants jaw movements and chewing sequence measures correlated with Mouth Behavior (MB) group, as measured by the JBMB typing tool? (2) can MB group membership can be predicted from jaw movement and chewing sequence measures? One hundred subjects (69 female and 31 male, mean age 27 ± 7.7 years) were given four different foods (Mentos, Walkers, Cheetos Puffs, Twix) and video recordings of their jaw movements made. Twenty-nine parameters were calculated on each chewing sequence with 27 also calculated for the first half and second half of chewing sequence. Subjects were assigned to a MB group using the JBMB typing tool which gives four MB groups ("Chewers," "Crunchers," "Smooshers," and "Suckers"). The differences between individual chewing parameters and MB group were assessed with analysis of variance which showed only small differences in average chewing parameters between the MB groups. By using discriminant analysis, it was possible to partially discriminate between MB groups based on changes in their chewing parameters between foods with different material properties and stages of the chewing. A 19-variable model correctly predicted 68% of the subjects' membership of a MB group. This partially confirms our first hypothesis that when presented with foods that could be chewed in different ways participants will use a chewing sequence and jaw movements that correlate with their MB as measured by the JBMB typing tool. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS The way consumers chew their food has an impact on their texture perception of that food. While there is a wide range of chewing behaviors between consumers, they can be grouped into broad categories to better target both product design and product testing by sensory panel. In this study, consumers who were grouped on their texture preference (MB group) had jaw movements, when chewing a range of foods, which partially reflected group membership. Therefore, while MB group membership could not be predicted from jaw movement measurements, there were similarities in jaw movements within the members of the groups. A better understanding of how jaw movement during chewing relates to consumer sensory perception would aid in new solid product design with controlled textural attributes.

Systematic Standardized and Individualized Assessment of Masticatory Cycles Using Electromagnetic 3D Articulography and Computer Scripts. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:7134389. [PMID: 29075647 PMCID: PMC5624173 DOI: 10.1155/2017/7134389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2017] [Revised: 07/12/2017] [Accepted: 08/10/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Masticatory movements are studied for decades in odontology; a better understanding of them could improve dental treatments. The aim of this study was to describe an innovative, accurate, and systematic method of analyzing masticatory cycles, generating comparable quantitative data. The masticatory cycles of 5 volunteers (Class I, 19 ± 1.7 years) without articular or dental occlusion problems were evaluated using 3D electromagnetic articulography supported by MATLAB software. The method allows the trajectory morphology of the set of chewing cycles to be analyzed from different views and angles. It was also possible to individualize the trajectory of each cycle providing accurate quantitative data, such as number of cycles, cycle areas in frontal view, and the ratio between each cycle area and the frontal mandibular border movement area. There was a moderate negative correlation (−0.61) between the area and the number of cycles: the greater the cycle area, the smaller the number of repetitions. Finally it was possible to evaluate the area of the cycles through time, which did not reveal a standardized behavior. The proposed method provided reproducible, intelligible, and accurate quantitative and graphical data, suggesting that it is promising and may be applied in different clinical situations and treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify whether over-eruption of the mandibular third molar can disturb chewing movement. METHODS Eighteen patients with a unilateral mandibular over-erupted third molar confirmed by both study cast observation and T-scan occlusal detection were selected from a sample of patients with complaints of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms. A unilateral gum-chewing trace was recorded separately for left and right side chewing by an electrognathography system. The average chewing pattern (ACP) was created based on segments from the recorded chewing trace to represent the chewing movement characteristics of each individual. Two factors, the TMD symptomatic side and the over-eruption side, were analysed for their effects on values of difference in the parameters (Δvalue) regarding the ACP between chewing with right and left side. Three-dimensional amplitudes of ACP and the cross point value of ACP with the vertical axis (termed the cross zero point value) which described the turning point of the chewing cycle from the balancing side to the working side, were compared between sides. RESULTS The over-eruption side had an effect on the Δvalue of the medial amplitude, the lateral amplitude, and the cross zero point (P<0.05), but the symptomatic side didn't (P>0.05). When chewing on the over-eruption side, the medial amplitude was shorter, the lateral amplitude was larger, and the cross zero point value was smaller than those when chewing on the other side (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The present data indicate an effect of the over-erupted mandibular third molar on the chewing pattern while that from the symptom(s) is limited.

Can mastication in children with cerebral palsy be analyzed by clinical observation, dynamic ultrasound and 3D kinematics? J Electromyogr Kinesiol 2016; 32:22-29. [PMID: 27940411 DOI: 10.1016/j.jelekin.2016.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2016] [Revised: 10/31/2016] [Accepted: 11/27/2016] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of the Mastication Observation and Evaluation (MOE) instrument, dynamic ultrasound and 3D kinematic measurements to describe mastication in children with spastic cerebral palsy and typically developing children. Masticatory movements during five trials of eating a biscuit were assessed in 8 children with cerebral palsy, spastic type (mean age 9.08years) and 14 typically developing children (mean age 9.01years). Differences between trials were tested (t-test) and the mastication of individual children with cerebral palsy was analyzed. MOE scores ranged from 17 to 31 (median 24) for the children with cerebral palsy and from 28 to 32 (median 31) for the typically developing children. There was an increased chewing cycle duration, a smaller left-right and up-down tongue displacement and larger anterior mandible movements for the trials (n=40) of cerebral palsy children (p<0.000 for all comparisons) compared to the trials of typically developing children (n=70). The MOE captures differences in mastication between individual children with cerebral palsy. The MOE items 'jaw movement' and 'fluency and coordination' showed the most similarity with the objective measurements. Objective measurements of dynamic ultrasound and 3D kinematics complemented data from the MOE instrument.
