title: [The comparative characteristics of mastication tests].
abstract: Changes in the values of Manly's [correction of Manley's], Rubinov's, and the author's mastication tests were studied in subjects with intact dentition, orthognathic occlusion; the tests were carried out 3 times each with intervals of 2-3 weeks. Correlations of the data of Dahlberg's [correction of Dalberg's], Manley's, Rubinov's and the author's tests were studied and the pattern of changes in the data of the tests in minor dentition defects analyzed. Repeated tests yielded better results; the data of various tests were found incompatible; the suggested test was found the most sensitive and accurate. The basic requirements to a mastication test are formulated.
