“…It has been demonstrated that viscosity can affect its retention on tooth surfaces and oral clearance, particularly in 3-6-year-old children, where milk and dairy products are the most frequently consumed food products, which must be determined prior to consumption. Furthermore, viscosity can be considered a risk factor for evaluating the relationship between food retention and dental caries [2]. Additionally, research revealed that the viscosity of a semi-solid food effects postprandial metabolism and nutritional bioavailability by affecting eating and stomach emptying rates, and that long-term adjustment of rheological characteristics of diet influences the risk of chronic diseases [3].…”

Sensing Methods for the Augmentation of Mobile Food Scanner and In-line Sensing. Biomed J Sci & Tech Res 46(4)-2022. BJSTR. MS.ID.007379.Food and beverage production is a complex rheological field to work with because it involves dealing with a wide range of sample types and behaviors. Viscosity property of food has a significant impact on the food quality, and it could be a risk factor for evaluating the relationship between food retention and human health caries, hence urgently raises the need of immediate analysis and evaluation and monitoring the viscosity of food. Viscosity measurements of food and beverage products help maximize both production and process-ability efficiency and ensures a consistently high quality of the product. This paper presents and reviews a survey of conventional viscometers and rheometers used and pre-sented in markets, comparing their efficiency with new technology and sensing methods for viscosity measuring of food products. The paper concludes by reviewing the new approach to a tiny and porta-ble device as a friendly user, accurate with low cost to be equivalent to the laboratory measurements efficiency.

Objectives Malnutrition can be a significant problem among older adults and the medically compromised individuals, contributing to morbidity and mortality. Causes of malnutrition are complex and varied. Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are often prescribed to individuals with or at risk of malnutrition. Although beneficial, concerns have been raised about their cariogenic potential. The purpose of this study is to report on the currently available ONS in Australia, focusing on factors that impact their cariogenicity. Methods A list of ONS was compiled based on their availability in Australia and indication for use in adults with or at risk of malnutrition. Data concerning composition, clinical indications and the recommended daily consumption was ascertained from product labels, company websites and customer services. Measurements of pH and viscosity were obtained for all ONS. Results A total of 33 ONS were identified, which were noted to vary in their cariogenic potential. Conclusions Recognition of the possible caries risk associated with the use of ONS is important. Awareness facilitates the making of informed decisions when ONS are chosen. When the need arises to use ONS in individuals where the associated caries risk is considered significant, caries preventive protocols should be implemented by the prescriber.

Severe early childhood caries (S-ECC), defined as any sign of smooth-surface caries in a child younger than three years of age, remains a serious health issue. The aim of this study was to indicate oral health behaviours related to S-ECC. The study surveyed parents (socio-economic and medical factors, oral health behaviours) and clinically examined children including non-cavitated d1,2/cavitated d ≥ 3 lesions. %S-ECC, and caries indices (d1,2 d ≥ 3 mft and d1,2 d ≥ 3 mfs) were calculated. Spearman’s correlation and simple and multiple logistic regression were used to assess the relationships between various factors and S-ECC. A total of 496 children were examined. S-ECC occurred in 44.8%: d1,2 d ≥ 3 mft = 2.62 ± 3.88, d1,2 d ≥ 3 mfs = 4.46 ± 8.42. S-ECC was correlated with socio-economic factors, vitamin D supplementation, breastfeeding and using formula after the 18th month, and toothbrushing. Supplementation of vitamin D and toothbrushing tended to decrease the odds of S-ECC (OR = 0.49 (0.27–0.87); p = 0.016, OR = 0.46 (0.24–0.86) p = 0.015, respectively). Feeding exclusively with formula was observed to increase the odds of S-ECC (OR = 2.20 (1.29–3.76); p = 0.004). Consuming > three snacks daily (OR = 1.39 (0.97–1.98); p = 0.072) and the reluctance to eat resilient foods (OR = 1.63 (1.05–2.51); p = 0.028) were nullified by the confounding factors. Vitamin D supplementation, mastication of resilient food, breastfeeding in the first six months of a baby’s life, and parent-supervised toothbrushing are factors in the prevention of caries in toddlers. Breast- and bottle-feeding after the 18th month of life, the reluctance to eat solids, lack of vitamin D supplementation, hygienic neglect, and delay in introducing oral health behaviours may contribute to the development of caries in toddlers.
