TLDR
ACNC are similar on the right and left sides; subjects with larger ACNC are better able to break down foods; and that subjects with malocclusions have smaller ACNC than those with normal occlusions.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of mastication with implications for oral rehabilitation: a review
TL;DR: Findings from literature on masticatory function for both healthy persons and patient groups are presented and the influence of oral rehabilitation, e.g. dental restorations, implant treatment and temporomandibular disorder treatment, on masticsatory function will be discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of malocclusion and its treatment on quality of life: a literature review
TL;DR: There is a need for a more comprehensive and rigorous assessment of the impact of malocclusion and its treatment on QoL, employing standardized, valid and reliable data collection instruments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intra-oral restorative materials wear: rethinking the current approaches: how to measure wear.
TL;DR: To determine what wear parameter(s) have clinical relevance and what factors are important for accurate measurement of these parameters in vivo and in vitro, describe biomechanical factors affecting mastication and the mechanics of wear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of orthodontic treatment needs and oral health-related quality of life in young adults.
TL;DR: These findings emphasize the impact of malocclusion on oral health-related quality of life of young adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative contributions of occlusion, maximum bite force, and chewing cycle kinematics to masticatory performance.
TL;DR: Although masticatory performance is related, both directly and indirectly, to a number of morphologic and functional factors, it is most closely related to occlusal factors.

Journal ArticleDOI
Chewing efficiency and state of dentition. A methodologic study.
TL;DR: Number of occluding pairs of teeth was closely correlated with chewing efficiency and individuals with less than 20 teeth had a higher index score than those with more than 20, but the variation was not linear and not always significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of particle sizes in food comminuted by human mastication.
TL;DR: Considerable differences in the median particle sizes at a given number of chewing strokes were observed between the subjects, reflecting differences in efficiency of comminution of a test food.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal masticatory performance in young adults and children
TL;DR: Body size, together with the occlusal contact area of the posterior teeth and the bite force, explained 60-72 percent of the variation in performance, while contact area, posterior ramus height, and bite force explained differences between men and women, but differences between adults and children remained.
