咀嚼功能可以通过咀嚼测试和问卷调查或个人访谈来评估。虽然咀嚼测试可以客观地评估咀嚼效率，但问卷调查有助于评估一个人对咀嚼能力的主观反应。流行病学研究表明，随着牙齿脱落程度的增加，咀嚼能力主观上会下降，这一趋势在文献中得到了证实。有趣的是，与功能测试相比，咀嚼能力的主观测量往往被高估了。咀嚼功能是患者的因素，而不是假体治疗合格的参数。它取决于各种个人和主观因素，而这些因素很难受到实践者的影响。本文描述和讨论了科学的社会生理学和生物医学方法来评估咀嚼功能。
Masticatory function can be assessed by chewing tests and questionnaires or personal interviews. Whereas the chewing tests allow the assessment of masticatory efficiency with some objectivity, questionnaires help evaluate a person's subjective responses about chewing ability. Epidemiologic studies indicate a subjective decrease in chewing ability with increasing degree of tooth loss, a trend that was confirmed in the literature. Of interest was that the subjective measures of masticatory ability are often overrated when compared with the functional tests. Masticatory function is a patient factor rather than a parameter that prosthetic treatment can qualify. It depends on a variety of personal and subjective factors that can hardly be influenced by the practitioner. This article describes and discusses scientific sociophysiologic and biomedical approaches to evaluating masticatory function.
