Background: People perform poorly in masticatory function tests despite well-functioning prostheses. However, it is unclear whether there is an agreement between subjective and objective measures of mastication. Objectives: To investigate the association between subjective and objective measures of masticatory function in patients with bimaxilla...

... This finding may be due to many reasons; the gradual rise in the maximum bite force may be due to the neuromuscular co-ordination and adaptability of the patient to the prostheses upon time; however it was reported that implant supported prostheses may restore the oral function successfully, both subjective and objective indicators of chewing ability score better compared to conventional complete dentures; more over the refined stability and retention provided by the implants may have lowered patient's fear and promoted them to exert higher biting force. (37)(38)(39)(40) Longitudinal study compared the maximum biting forces and the level of activity of the muscles of mastication two months after mandibular implants placement for denture stabilization. This study reported marked rise in bite force value from 41% to 58% bilaterally in molar area after the implants supporting. ...
