Values are means (standard deviations).

Shaded area is subset of individuals with data from right and left chews or from right and left gauges (paired t-test performed).

εMAX, peak tensile principal strain; εMIN, peak compressive principal strain; angle is degrees of εMIN above the occlusal plane.
