Maintaining lifelong healthy chewing (mastication) is crucial for overall health. This review explores the significant impact of mastication on systemic, mental, and physical well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • General Health
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Mastication is vital for nutrition and overall bodily functions.
  • Recent research highlights the broad impact of chewing on systemic, mental, and physical health.
  • Preserving lifelong masticatory function is a primary dental objective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current scientific knowledge on the link between mastication and general health.
  • To provide an updated overview of mastication's role in systemic well-being.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent scientific studies.
  • Compilation of evidence on mastication and health outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Mastication influences nutrient absorption and digestion.
