Filter by:The main aim of this cross-over intervention study is to assess the effect of masticatory side-switch frequency on different aspects of masticatory function, including masticatory mixing ability and rhythm. A secondary aim is to explore the subjective perception of taste, muscular fatigue, and saliva production through a VAS. Thirty-six volunteers recruited for convenience, among students of the Degree of Dentistry of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Barcelona, will perform 6 tests, each consisting of 2 assays, chewing a two-coloured chewing gum, during 40 masticatory cycles. The tests will be randomised masticatory sequences of "free-style", "unilateral-right", "unilateral-left", switching the chewing side at 5% "G05", at 15% "G15" and at 25% "G25". Video recordings of these tests will be made to later assess, on slow playback, the change of the chewing side and the masticatory rhythm. The masticatory mixing ability will be determined through the scanning and posterior analysis of the red-channel in the histogram plug-in in "ImageJ" (R).
The aim of this study was to compare the MBF and chewing efficiency of complete denture bases fabricated by conventional, 3D printing and milling techniques. The research hypothesis was that, there are no significant differences in MBF and chewing efficiency in complete dentures fabricated by the three methods.
The primary objective of this study is to establish the effect of the frequency of masticatory side switches on masticatory performance. We also want to know the effect of the frequency of masticatory side switches on the masticatory rhythm. Twenty-eight healthy volunteers will undertake masticatory tests, following a series of instructions given at the moment. These volunteers will take a re-test in two-weeks time. The sequence of these tests will be randomized in such a way that, each participant will initially perform an established sequence of "freestyle, only-right, and only-left" masticatory tests, and then will carry out one of the 6 possible combinations of "A1, A3, and A5". These tests will be recorded on video to assess, on slow playback, the change of the chewing side, and the masticatory rhythm.Masticatory performance will be determined by sieving the silicone particles.
The study will investigate to verify whether pediatric dentists could determine chewing performance level by using Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale in children.
This study will report the chewing and swallowing disorders of a Coffin-Lowry Syndrome (CLS) patient, and effects of chewing and swallowing training on chewing and swallowing function.
The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the T-MOE among pediatric patients with chewing disorders.
The investigators aim to evaluate chewing function in children with repaired esophageal atresia-tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF). Patients with repaired EA-TEF will be evaluated for age, sex, type of atresia. Each child will be required to bite and chew a standardized biscuit. Chewing function will be scored with the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale (KCPS). The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) will be used to determine the tolerated food texture of children.
The purpose of this study is to determine the association between gross motor function and chewing performance level in children with cerebral palsy (CP). A cross-sectional study was conducted in 152 children (ages 2-10y, 51.3% male) with a diagnosis of spastic CP. The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was used to determine gross motor function levels of children. Chewing performance level was determined by using the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale (KCPS).
