Abstract
A method for measuring masticatory efficiency is described as well as a mathematical formula expressing the masticatory efficiency as an index. A silicone compound was used as test material. The masticatory efficiency index was calculated as the mean of the best four out of five consecutive measurements of masticatory efficiency calculated from a specially designed formula.Keywords
