Masticatory Efficiency in Children

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to evaluate the association of masticatory efficiency with different conditions of the stomatognathic system (transitioning from primary to secondary dentition, dental caries, malocclusion, tooth loss, prosthodontic treatment) in the paediatric population. Also, to assess the correlation between masticatory efficiency and nutritional status. The study will be conducted on children between 3 and 14 years of age. Masticatory efficiency will be evaluated by the optical scanning method. Participants will chew a standardized silicone tablet controlled by the examiner for 20 masticatory strokes. By scanning the comminuted particles, data on each particle's size will be obtained. Enhanced masticatory performance is presented by a decrease in the chewed particle areas and an increase in the number of chewed particles.
