TABLE 3.
Percentage differences between: (1) energy determined for unilateral chewing (E WUi ; E WIi ) and symmetrical incisal biting (E NUi , E NIi ), for the working side (ΔE WUIi ) and non-working side (ΔE NUIi ) and (2) total energy (ΔE UIi ) for unilateral chewing (E TUi ) and symmetrical incisal biting (E TIi ), depending on the food type (i).

i = s, c, a, b and d.
b
E WUi = E MWi + E PWi + E TWi and E NUi = E MNi + E PNi + E TNi (Table 1).
d
E TUi = E WUi + E NUi .
e
E TIi = E WIi + E NIi .
