This paper presents a review of the scientific literature on the problem of determining and evaluating masticatory efficiency using various devices and methods and taking into account the factor of sexual dimorphism and age heterogeneity in dentistry.
The purpose of our work is to analyze the existing data on methods for determining and assessing chewing efficiency, in particular, bite force and chewing pressure in people of different ages and genders. We conducted a systematic review and analysis of the literature with a depth of 10 years based on PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, UpToDate databases. Combinations of the following keywords were used to search for information: Dental prescale, prescale film, masticatory performance, occlusal contact, mastication, pressure, which were further processed. The solution of the problem of determining and evaluating masticatory efficiency is of direct practical importance for orthopedic and orthodontic treatment, and scientific and practical interest in solving this problem is observed in such fields as human anatomy and physiology, nutrition and pharmacology. Bite force and chewing pressure are studied using various measurement methods: gnathodynamometry; electromyography; muscle sedation with appropriate drugs to determine chewing efficiency; use of strain gauges to determine electrical resistance, fibre optic Bragg gratings, piezoelectric pressure transducers; occlusion. However, the results of our literature analysis revealed the absence of a structured approach to comparing different methods for determining indicators of masticatory function. In addition, standard basic parameters of chewing efficiency are needed to diagnose dentition anomalies depending on age and gender, location and side of the teeth, type of equipment and ethnicity.
