Table 3 Masseter muscle stiffness on both sides during conditions of relaxation and maximum bite force.
| Relaxation (Mean±SD) | Maximum bite force (Mean±SD) | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-dominant side | 347.5±83.5 | 607.1±158.7 | |
| Dominant side | 369.5±94.9 | 618.3±150.7 | |
| 0.102 | 0.675 | ||
| values for the difference between conditions of relaxation and maximum bite force and for the difference of each on the dominant and non-dominant sides were calculated by paired t-test, with values | |||
