Mastication
Definition:
(n.) The act or operation of masticating; chewing, as of food.

(20) In the triturating area the verticality of the interalveolar axis is necessary for the stability of the cusp-fossa relationship in centric occlusion and for the stability of the prothesis during mastication.
Masticatory
Definition:
(a.) Chewing; adapted to perform the office o/ chewing food.
(n.) A substance to be chewed to increase the saliva.
Example Sentences:
