Summary

The primary objective of this study is to establish the effect of the frequency of masticatory side switches on masticatory performance. We also want to know the effect of the frequency of masticatory side switches on the masticatory rhythm. Twenty-eight healthy volunteers will undertake masticatory tests, following a series of instructions given at the moment. These volunteers will take a re-test in two-weeks time. The sequence of these tests will be randomized in such a way that, each participant will initially perform an established sequence of "freestyle, only-right, and only-left" masticatory tests, and then will carry out one of the 6 possible combinations of "A1, A3, and A5". These tests will be recorded on video to assess, on slow playback, the change of the chewing side, and the masticatory rhythm.Masticatory performance will be determined by sieving the silicone particles.
