Influence of age and dental status on chewing behaviour studied by EMG recordings during consumption of various food samples.

Gerodontology·2003

Food thickness significantly impacts human chewing force, with effects varying between incisor and molar teeth. This study quantizes these differences using a novel pressure-sensing device.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Dental Science
  • Food Science

Background:

  • Understanding the biomechanics of mastication is crucial for nutrition and dental health.
  • Previous research has not fully quantified the relationship between food properties and human bite force dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between food sample thickness and bite force.
  • To analyze how incisor and molar chewing differ in response to food thickness.
  • To introduce a novel sensor for real-time measurement of oral forces and contact areas.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel, thin, and flexible multiple-point sheet sensor for real-time pressure distribution and contact area detection.
  • Utilized silicone rubber blocks of varying thicknesses as food samples.

  • 10 healthy women performed chewing tasks using incisors and molars.

    • Main Results:

    • Thicker food samples resulted in greater peak force, contact area, duration, and impulse during incisor chewing.
    • Active pressure (force/contact area) at peak was consistent across different food thicknesses.
    • Molar chewing of a 2 mm thick sample yielded the highest peak force and related parameters, with generally greater force, contact area, and duration compared to incisor chewing.

    Conclusions:

    • Food sample thickness is a significant factor influencing human chewing forces.
    • The biomechanical response to food thickness differs between incisor and molar teeth.
    • The developed sensor provides valuable real-time data for masticatory research.
