- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The masticatory performance will be measured by the mixing ability test. It<br /><br>measures how well a subject can mixe a red-blue wax tablet (size of a<br /><br>peppermint) by chewing on it. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>(1) The bite force transducer will be used to measure the maximum bite force<br /><br>(MBF).<br /><br>(2) To measure the maximum active and passive range of motion of the jaw<br /><br>opening, participants will be asked to open their mouth to the maximum and all<br /><br>measured values will be recorded between the front teeth with a metal ruler.<br /><br>(3) The Visual Anologue Scale (VAS) will be used to assess the pain level from<br /><br>score 0 mm 'no pain' to score 100 mm 'worst imaginable pain'. Before<br /><br>measurements and during chewing, maximum bite force, and maximum mouth opening.<br /><br>(4) Patients satisfaction with the replacement will be determined using a VAS.<br /><br>This will be rated between 0 mm 'absolutely dissatisfied' and 100 'completely<br /><br>satisfied'.<br /><br>(5) To evaluate subjective impression of daily oral function the mandibular<br /><br>function impairment questionnaire (MFIQ) will be used.</p><br>
