Usefulness of newly devised food intake score in removable denture wearers

“…26,27,42,[44][45][46] Sato et al 23 selected 20 foods, and Koshino et al 24 selected 25 foods for the evaluation offoodintakeability.Thefoodintakescore(FIS)wasthencalculated from the intake status of these foods and its applicability wasreported.TheFISsofbothstudieswereusedinrecentstudies because of their usefulness. 12,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] Inparticular,theFIS1reported bySatoetal. 23 can be calculated by counting the number of 'can eat easily' and multiplying by five; hence, owing to its simplicity, is widely used.…”
