Table 5. Comparison of the mean bite force (N) according to the groups. ALSG: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis group; CG: control group; SD: standard deviation; RM: right masseter; LM: left masseter; RT: right temporal; LT: left temporal. Statistical significance was calculated using t test (p≤0.05).
Bite Force | ALSG | CG | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
Right Molar | 203.68±31.08 | 229.68±29.32 | 0.553 |
Left Molar | 230.75±34.22 | 232.41±27.65 | 0.970 |
