咀嚼系统的发育受到功能需求的影响。此外，咀嚼运动可以改善咀嚼功能。本研究的目的是评估咀嚼口香糖运动对不同面部形态的成年受试者的最大咬合力（MBF）的潜在影响。通过便携式咬合力计测量 MBF，并使用头颅侧位片评估 19 名个体（7 名男性和 12 名女性）的颅面形态，平均年龄为 25.4 岁（SD ± 4.3）。志愿者每天两次进行 5 分钟的口香糖咀嚼运动，持续 4 周。 MBF 在 4 周运动前（T1）和运动后（T2）进行测量。受试者的面部形态分为短型 (n = 7)、中型 (n = 7) 和多利乔 (n = 5) 面部类型。在所有三组中，锻炼都与 MBF 显着增加相关，尽管多利乔面部类型的增加百分比最高。我们得出的结论是，咀嚼口香糖运动可以改善咀嚼能力，尤其是对于具有多利乔面部形态的个体。
Development of the masticatory system is influenced by functional needs. Furthermore, masticatory exercise can improve masticatory function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effect of the gum chewing exercise on the maximum bite force (MBF) in adult subjects with different facial morphologies. MBF was measured by a portable occlusal force gauge and lateral cephalogram was used for evaluation of craniofacial morphology in 19 individuals (7 males and 12 females) with a mean age of 25.4 years (SD ± 4.3). The volunteers underwent gum chewing exercise for 5 min twice a day for 4 weeks. MBF was measured before (T1) and after the 4‐week exercise (T2). The facial morphology of the subjects was classified into the brachy (n = 7), mesio (n = 7), and dolicho (n = 5) facial types. In all three groups, exercise was associated with a significant increase in MBF, though the percent increase was highest in the dolicho facial type. We conclude that gum chewing exercise can improve masticatory performance, especially in individuals with dolicho facial morphology.
