Study of masticatory function with the progression of periodontitis

Key Points

• To investigate the relationship between masticatory function and the progression of periodontitis, focusing on various related factors.
• Analyzed stage and grade classification of periodontitis
• Assessed bone resorption rates, occlusal force, and chewing efficiency
• Examined the relationship between facet ratio and sleep bruxism
• Masticatory function declines as periodontitis progresses
• Significant correlations found between occlusal force, chewing efficiency, and periodontitis stage
• Limited prior research on facet ratio and sleep bruxism association
