“…Regarding Japanese children, there is a concern that a preference for softer foods might have adverse effects on the development of the masticatory function 13 . It has been suggested that changes in dietary habit to softer foods can partly explain the greater risk of malocclusion and the less developed masticatory function compared with children living 35 years before 14 . Maki et al 7 reported that the occlusal force of Japanese school children was decreasing as compared with the results of previous reports 15 years before.…”

“…Tsai 15 en su estudio, confirmó que las giroversiones de los dientes deciduos producen alteración en las medidas de las dimensiones oclusales; y Camporessi 16 , sostuvo que la dimensión que ha sufrido mayor variación debido al paso del tiempo en los últimos 50 años fue la longitud de arco, dándole la causa principal a cambios en hábitos alimenticios y aumento de patologías respiratorias, causando un futuro apiñamiento en la dentición permanente.…”

Objetivo: determinar y comparar las dimensiones oclusales en dentición decidua completa entre niños residentes en el distrito de Yamango en el departamento de Piura con modelos de estudio de niños en dentición decidua completa atendidos en la Clínica Estomatológica Central en la ciudad Lima. Material y métodos: se evaluaron modelos de estudio de 124 niños, 56 hombres y 68 mujeres, de 3 a 5 años de edad con oclusión normal y maloclusión clase I. Se utilizó la prueba de U de Mann- Whitney (p<0.05) para evaluar diferencias entre sujetos por lugar de procedencia, sexo y edad. Resultados: se reportaron medidas promedio, desviación estándar y significancia estadística. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en todas las dimensiones oclusales comparadas por procedencia, sexo y edad.

“…These observations are explained by technology-related increases in extra-oral food processing that have resulted in less chewing, the introduction of novel environmental abrasives into food, and a simultaneous increase in sugar consumption [6][7][8]. The recent decrease in dietary hardness and masticatory load during childhood in conjunction with the increased mechanisation of food processing has been suggested as a factor behind the high malocclusion rates in present-day populations [9][10][11][12]. However, the diversity of pre-industrial childhood masticatory behaviour and load, reflected in dental wear, remains poorly documented.…”

Dental wear and oral pathology among sex determined Early Bronze-Age children from Franzhausen I, Lower Austria

The physical properties of diet and oral health throughout childhood play an important role in the development of human dentition, and differed greatly before the industrial revolution. In this study we examined dental wear and oral pathology in a sample of children from the Early Bronze-Age to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of childhood diet and related oral health. We explore cross-sectional age and sex-based variation of children in the sample. The analysis was carried out on the dentitions of 75 children, 978 teeth, excavated from the Early Bronze-Age cemetery Franzhausen I in Lower Austria. Presence of dental caries and calculus was recorded. Dental wear was measured using dentine exposure, occlusal topography, and dental microwear texture analysis. Sex determination was carried out using amelogenin peptide analysis. Caries were found in only 4 individuals (crude prevalence rate—5%, 95% CI 1% to 13%), affecting only 5 teeth (true prevalence rate—less than 1%). Dentine exposure was observed in over 70% of deciduous molars and dental wear measurements indicate a comparatively strong dental wear accumulation especially, among younger children, when compared to modern-day and later pre-industrial populations. Microwear textures presented a high complexity (Asfc > 2)/low anisotropy (epLsar < 1) profile, especially in older children. Differences between male and female children were not generally significant but increased dentine exposure was observed in the lower molars of younger female children. Our results suggest that the Early Bronze-Age children at Franzhausen I consumed a non-cariogenic diet, more abrasive and inclusive of harder/polyhedral foodstuffs than present-day children and some later Medieval children. Differences in dental wear accumulation were observed between children within the population, but with minimal variation between the sexes mostly occurring among younger children.
