Abstract
Background: Masticatory function is a major indicator for oral health status. At the time being, only few studies have investigated orofacial functional conditions with different methods.
Objective: To assess the masticatory performance (MP) of individuals aged ≥ 45 residing in Swiss communities by means of a a two-colour chewing gum.
Methods: Subjects aged ≥ 45 years and residing in Swiss communities (Bern-Canton) were recruited for this cross-sectional study. After a comprehensive clinical examination and subjects' data collection thorough dedicated questionnaires, a two-colour mixing-ability test was carried out. The photographed specimens were analysed with a subjective (SA) and an Opto-Electronic assessment (SD_Hue). Descriptive, bivariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression were performed between the outcome variable (SA) and subjects' variables.
Results: From the whole analysed sample (275 patients; male n = 154, women n = 121, mean age = 69.7 years), MP was assessed on 207 chewing samples. The SA revealed 118 (57%) categorised as SA 4-SA 5 (very good), 76 (36.7%) as SA 3 (good) and 13 (6.3%) as SA 1 and SA 2 (poor), respectively. MP was higher in the younger (age 45-64, SD_Hue: 0.09 SD 0.89) than in older group (age ≥ 75 years, SD_Hue: 0.19 SD 0.18). A significant association between MP and age (p < 0.01), time to the last visit at the dentist, visit to the dental hygienist (p = 0.03; p = 0.01) as well as the use of dental floss (p < 0.01) were detected.
Conclusion: MP of individuals aged ≥ 45 residing in Swiss communities was overall good. High plaque and bleeding scores were increasing with subjects' age.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function.
Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology.
The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
