From: Impact of chewing muscle anesthesia on masticatory performance in healthy participants
In this figure, the median is represented by the points on the line, the lower limit of the interval represents the first quartile (25%), while the upper limit represents the third quartile (75%). The width of the interval represents the interquartile range (IQR) of self-reported fatigue scores assessed with Borg’s rating of perceived exertion are shown at baseline and after chewing task S1, S2, H1, H2 and the two-coloured gum (T) before and after injection of local anesthetics for women and men. *Significant higher scores after injection comparing women and men (p < 0.026). # Significant higher scores after injection compared to before injection for women (Friedman ANOVA test; p < 0.029).
