Differing structural properties of foods affect the development of mandibular control and muscle coordination in infants and young children
The development of chewing is an essential motor skill that is continually refined throughout early childhood. From a motor control perspective, the advancement of textures is dependent upon the fit between a child's oral anatomic and motor system and food properties. The purpose of this exploratory study is to identify age-related changes in chewing motor coordination and control and to determ...
متن کامل[Effects of chewing exercise on the maximum biting force and chewing performance].
Maximum biting force and chewing performance were measured in adult subjects before and after four-weeks training by newly devised "Chewing Ability Enhancing Substances (CAES)". The CAES is made of glucomannan. The number of chewing strokes and chewing time until the last swallowing action are much larger when chewing CAES than those of other usual eating materials. By four weeks training using...
متن کاملMasticatory performance and bite force in children with primary dentition.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between masticatory performance and maximum bite force in the primary dentition. The sample comprised 15 children of both genders, aged 3 to 5.5 years, with good systemic and oral health, presence of all primary teeth without large caries, no structural anomalies, without severe malocclusion, and no history of orthodontic treatment. They ch...
متن کاملChewing side, bite force symmetry, and occlusal contact area of subjects with different facial vertical patterns.
Craniofacial dimensions influence oral functions; however, it is not known whether they are associated with function asymmetry. The objective of this study was to evaluate chewing side preference and lateral asymmetry of occlusal contact area and bite force of individuals with different craniofacial patterns. Seventy-eight dentate subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the VERT index ...
متن کاملEvaluation of masticatory parameters in overweight and obese children.
OBJECTIVES Mastication is an essential function that prepares the food for swallowing and digestion and may be related to nutritional status. Thus, the aims of this study were to evaluate the masticatory parameters in overweight and obese children and the relation between bite force and anthropometric evaluation, food consistency, breast/bottle-feeding, and occlusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Th...
متن کاملVariables affecting measurements of vertical occlusal force.
Previous studies of occlusal force have provided conflicting results. The purpose of these studies was to determine whether the extent of vertical opening, contralateral occlusal support, or head posture influenced vertical occlusal forces during swallowing, simulated chewing, and maximum biting effort. Three samples of subjects with normal vertical facial proportions--one each of children, ado...
