Abstract:
A chewing function assessment material with which it is possible to assess both of a chewing/grinding function and a bolus-of-food forming function simultaneously is provided. The chewing function assessment material contains a gum base and a sugar component. The content of the sugar component is 6% by mass or greater and 50% by mass or less relative to the whole amount of the chewing function assessment material.
Abstract:
To provide a scale which makes it possible to adjust the temperature of a furnace so that a ceramic blank can be properly heated even if various conditions such as the combination of the used ceramic blank and investment, and the type and size of the furnace vary, the scale comprises: a scale part; and a base part, the scale part and the base part being formed of wax or resin, wherein the base part has a shape of protruding from part of the scale part, a size of the scale part is larger than that of the base part in a direction orthogonal to a protruding direction of the base part.
