Long-term effects of orthognathic surgery on masticatory function in individuals with cleft lip and palate: A prospective study by Patricia Martins Bueno, Paulo Alceu Kiemle Trindade, Laís Hollara Medeiros, Leide Vilma Fidélis da Silva, Ivy Kiemle Trindade-Suedam

“…Three variables were evaluated: 1) Bite Force (BF) (measured in Newtons – N) presented as the average of the bite force from the right and left molars (x‾ RM + LM), using a gnathodynamometer (IDDK Kratos), 2) Masticatory Efficiency (ME) (ranging from 0 to 1, with values closer to 1 indicating poorer efficiency), assessed through a dual-color masticatory gum test analyzed visually and optoelectronically (ViewGum©), and 3) Masticatory Capacity (MC): patient-reported ability to chew, rated on a two-point scale (P/R = poor to reasonable, G/O = good to optimal). Results: In the PRE-ORTHOG phase, the BF for the CLP group (x‾ RM + LM = 285 ± 141) was significantly lower compared to the CON group (x‾ RM + LM = 524 ± 202). …”
