Comparison of smartphone‐camera and conventional flatbed scanner images for analytical evaluation of chewing function

Abstract: Background: The two-colour mixing test is a quick method to assess chewing function (CF). The use of smartphone cameras for acquiring images may help in further simplifying the process. Objective: This study evaluated the reliability of smartphone-camera images of chewing gums to assess CF. Methods: Five test samples of a bicoloured chewing gum were produced by a single fully dentate adult volunteer. The specimens were flattened to 1-mm thick wafers. The two sides of the wafers were digitised with a convention… Show more

“…Individually, higher mixed chewed gums were evaluated with higher SA scores, whereas in comparison less mixed chewed gums were evaluated more similar. Therefore, the results of this study are similar to the findings of the study from Fankhauser et al (2020) 29 . Pictures from mobile phones were scored not very reliably, and clinicians should be aware that deviations are possible.…”

“…It is possible that the non‐standardised recording by the phones changed the image quality for example due to blurring, camera moving or missed focus. With the scanner, images could always be taken with same lightning and quality and similar findings were also made in a previous study 29 . However, digitising wafers using a flatbed scanner is time‐consuming, and therefore, hardly conceivable in nursing home routines.…”

“…Alternatively, it is possible to evaluate the color mixture using a smartphone camera. However, higher degrees of color mixing result in a lower precision [ 115 ].…”

“…The various opto‐electronic assessment tools are often applied in research; however, the methods mostly need only a flatbed scanner and a computer for evaluation. First attempts for evaluation of the colour mixture with a smartphone application have been successful and will surely allow for further technical simplification in the near future 63,73 …”
