I assessed how changes in gum texture during chewing affected masticatory function. Masticatory movements and EMG activity were analyzed during gum chewing in 12 normal subjects and 8 people with masticatory muscle disorders. Comparisons were made between the early stage of chewing, when the texture varied widely, and the late stage, by time the texture had stabilized. In normal subjects, there was considerable variation in masticatory movement and EMG activity between strokes during the early stage. The cycle durations, however, were relatively constant throughout the chewing. In those with masticatory muscle disorders, the cycle durations were constant, and masticatory movement and EMG activity did not vary between the early and late stages. The results showed that although the output of the central pattern generator is influenced by sensory feedback in normal subjects, it is not in people with masticatory muscle disorders.
