Area of Science:

Oral Health Science
Gerontology
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Masticatory function is vital for oral health and quality of life, particularly in aging populations.
Objective assessment of clinical masticatory performance lacks consensus, despite numerous developed methods.
A systematic review is needed to identify and evaluate existing objective assessment methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically identify methods for objectively assessing clinical masticatory performance.
To evaluate the psychometric properties, including validity and reliability, of identified methods.
To recommend validated and reliable methods for clinical and scientific application.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature search across major databases: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Cinahl.
Inclusion of scientific, full-text articles, development and validation studies of the general adult population (≥18).
Exclusion of subjective measures, qualitative studies, opinion pieces, animal studies, and studies with severe oral health complications.

Main Results:

A comprehensive assessment of various objective clinical masticatory performance methods will be compiled.
Methods will be rated based on their reliability and validity.
Identification of one or more recommended methods for objective masticatory performance assessment.

Conclusions:

This review will provide a much-needed evaluation of objective masticatory performance assessment tools.
The findings will guide the selection of appropriate methods for research and clinical practice.
Establishing standardized, objective assessment methods can improve oral health outcomes and patient care.
