Association between brain lateralization and mixing ability of chewing side

Abstract

Brain laterality can be explained by the side of functional (preference of the hands, eyes, ears, and feet, and survey) has a positive correlation with chewing preference side. MAI between the brain dominant and nondominant sides was not significant. This shows that mastication efficiency does not differ between dominant and nondominant sides. So, this study suggests that brain dominance is correlated with chewing preference, but it does not affect efficiency of mastication.
