Masticatory performance is considered an important step in the beginning of the digestive process and considering the patient's aesthetic and functional factors, it is necessary to choose appropriate treatments. Based on the evidence during orthodontic treatment, the restoration of the physiological function of masticatory performance should not be neglected. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between orthodontic treatment and improved masticatory performance and oral health related to quality of life. In the present study, all articles published till the end of August 2023 were extracted by two trained researchers independently through a search in databases like PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, ISI, Web of Knowledge, Elsevier, Wiley, and Embase, and Google Scholar search engine using keywords and their combinations. Data analysis was done using the fixed effects model in a meta-analysis, by STATA (version 17); a P-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Based on the results, the mean difference in masticatory performance between pre-treatment and post-treatment was 2.23 (MD: 2.23; 95CI, 2.17, 2.29. p<0.01; I2= 99.98%; p<0.01). The mean difference in oral health related to quality of life between pre-treatment and post-treatment was -32.23 (MD: -32.23; 95CI, -33.35, -31.11. p<0.01; I2= 97%; p<0.01). Orthodontic treatment had a positive effect on masticatory performance and improved the quality of life of patients after treatment.
咀嚼功能被认为是消化过程开始的重要环节，考虑到患者的美学和功能因素，有必要选择合适的治疗方法。基于正畸治疗过程中的证据，不应忽视咀嚼功能生理功能的恢复。本研究旨在评估正畸治疗与咀嚼功能改善以及与生活质量相关的口腔健康之间的关联。在本研究中，两名经过培训的研究人员通过在PubMed、Scopus、Science Direct、ISI、Web of Knowledge、Elsevier、Wiley和Embase等数据库以及使用关键词及其组合的谷歌学术搜索引擎中进行检索，独立提取了截至2023年8月底发表的所有文章。使用STATA（版本17）在荟萃分析中采用固定效应模型进行数据分析；P值小于0.05被认为具有统计学意义。根据结果，治疗前与治疗后咀嚼功能的平均差异为2.23（MD：2.23；95%CI，2.17，2.29。p<0.01；I2 = 99.98%；p<0.01）。治疗前与治疗后与生活质量相关的口腔健康的平均差异为-32.23（MD：-32.23；95%CI，-33.35，-31.11。p<0.01；I2 = 97%；p<0.01）。正畸治疗对咀嚼功能有积极影响，并改善了治疗后患者的生活质量。
