“…The expected influences of body size upon masticatory variables must occur later due to the increase in muscle mass. 3,24 These findings are in agreement with those of other studies that observed no significant correlations between bite force and body variables in children, 13,23 as well as between masticatory performance and body variables in primary dentition. 7 The bite force evidently may depend on more complex factors than body size, such as the cross-sectional area of the masticatory muscles and jaw biomechanics.…”

“…No statistical difference were observed in maximal bite force with different kinds of occlusion in the primary dentition, 12,23 whereas the occlusal conditions in this phase had an influence on masticatory performance. 7 In older children and adolescents, bite force was not correlated with the Angle classification, 21,24,25,27 but correlated with maxillary protrusion, anterior crossbite, crowding and open bite, 12 suggesting that the quality of occlusion determines masticatory performance to a greater degree than the level of force that the subjects are willing to generate. The influence of any discrepancy in bite force can become apparent during eruption and establishment of the permanent dentition.…”

“…6 Hatch et al 9 (2001), in a large sample of 283 men and 348 women aged from 37 to 80 years, found the mean bilateral bite force in the molar region to be 583.49 ± 281.11 N. In ages from 7 to 20 years, the mean values of unilateral bite force were 309.50 ± 193.75 N for boys and 219 ± 144.21 N for girls. 24 In children aged 3-5 years old, Kamegai et al 12 (2005) observed that the mean bite force was 186.2 N in boys and 203.4 N in girls, whereas Maeda et al 14 (1989) found values of 212.16 N in this age range. For Rentes et al 23 (2002), the mean value was 213.17 N in children from 3 to 5.5 years old with normal occlusion.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between masticatory performance and maximum bite force in the primary dentition. The sample comprised 15 children of both genders, aged 3 to 5.5 years, with good systemic and oral health, presence of all primary teeth without large caries, no structural anomalies, without severe malocclusion, and no history of orthodontic treatment. They chewed one standardized silicone tablet for 20 strokes and the median areas of the chewed particles were measured by an optical digital system. Enhanced performance was measured by a decrease in the chewed particle areas and an increase in the amount of chewed particles. The bite force was determined using a transmitter pressurized tube connected to an analog/digital electronic circuit. Weight, height and body mass index (kg/m 2 ) were determined. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and Pearson or Spearman's correlations, after assessment of the normality of the distribution by Shapiro-Wilks' W-test. There was no correlation between bite force and particle area and amount (p > 0.05), neither were the body variables correlated with the masticatory variables (p > 0.05). It was concluded that the bite force was not a primary determinant of masticatory performance, and both variables were not dependent on body variables in the studied sample.

A amostra consistiu de 15 crianças de 3 a 5,5 anos de idade, de ambos os gêneros, apresentando boa saúde bucal e sistêmica, com a presença de todos os dentes decíduos, sem cáries extensas, sem anomalias estruturais, sem maloclusão severa e ausência de tratamento ortodôntico. Um tablete de silicone foi mastigado durante 20 ciclos e as áreas medianas das partículas foram mensuradas por um sistema óptico digital. A performance mastigatória foi considerada melhor quanto menor o tamanho das partículas mastigadas e quanto maior o número das mesmas. Para a força de mordida utilizou-se um tubo transmissor pressurizado, conectado a circuito eletrônico analógico/digital. O peso, a altura e o índice de massa corporal (kg/m 2 ) foram determinados. Os dados foram analisados pela estatística descritiva e correlacionados pelo coeficiente de Pearson ou Spearman, após a avaliação da normalidade da distribuição pelo teste de Shapiro-Wilks. Não houve correlação significativa entre a força de mordida e as áreas e o número das partículas (p > 0,05), assim como as variáveis corporais não se correlacionaram com as variáveis mastigatórias (p > 0,05). Concluiu-se que a força de mordida não foi o principal determinante da performance mastigatória na amostra avaliada, e ambas não foram dependentes das variáveis corporais. Descritores: Mastigação; Força de mordida; Dentição decídua.

“…In a study evaluating the relationship between dental condition and hand strength and maximum bite force, it was reported that carries and missing teeth negatively affected bite force [35]. This result is in line with our study since it can be assumed that muscle strength can be lower by severe decay conditions where nutrition is adversely affected.…”

Aim: Poor oral hygenia status affects nutrition and sleep in children and it is reported to have a negative influence on growth and development. Therefore, similarly it may negatively affect young athletes' performance in sports activities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between oral hygenia and athletic performance in child athletes from the Sports Academy of Kırıkkale University. Material and Methods:Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index (DMFT) scores were recorded for each subject and sports performance tests were performed. Results:The agility (Tdrill, Zigzag, 505, LCDT) and short sprint (10m, 20m, 30m best) tests conducted in this research showed that athletes whose DMFT values were over 3 were more successful than athletes whose DMFT values were equal or more than 3 (P < 0.01). Moreover, the results from Bosco test revealed that athletes whose DMFT values less than 3 were significantly more successful (P < 0.01). Also a correlation between DMFT values and results of the performance tests were found. Conclusion:These results highlight the importance of informing young athletes regarding oral health.

Turk J Clin Lab 2017; 8(1): 11-15 ÖZ Amaç: Kötü ağız hijyeninin çocuklarda beslenme ve uykuyu etkilediği ve büyüme-gelişim üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu durum çocuk sporcuların sportif aktiviteler sırasındaki başarısını da olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir. Çalışmamızın amacı Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Spor Akademisindeki çocuk hastaların atletik performansları ile ağız sağlığı arasındaki bir ilişki olup olmadığının değerlendirlmesidir. Keywords Gereç ve Yöntemler:Araştırmaya katılan tüm çocuklara ait "Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index" (DMFT) skorları kaydedilmiş ve spor performans testleri uygulanmıştır.Bulgular: Uygulanan çeviklik (Tdrill, Zigzag, 505, LCDT) ve "short sprint" (10m, 20m, 30m best) testleri, DMFT değerleri 3'ten düşük olan sporcuların, DMFT değerleri 3 ve daha yüksek olan sporculara göre istatistiksel olarak daha başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir (P < 0,01). Bosco testi sonuçlarına göre de DMFT değeri 3'ten daha az olan sporcuların istatistiksel olarak daha başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir (P < 0,01). Ayrıca, DMFT skorları ve performans testi sonuçları arasında korelasyon varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar:Bu sonuçlar çocuk sporcuların ağız sağlığı konusunda bilgilendirilmelerinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.

“…The bite force has an influence on muscle efficiency and development of the masticatory function (2). It tends to increase with the need to chew (3), with body weight and body height but decreases with changes in dentition and also in the presence of pain (1,4). Based on these statements, individuals with TMD are expected to have decreased maximum bite forces.…”

Individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are expected to have decreased maximum bite forces (MBF). This way, this study compared the MBF in subjects with TMD to a control group and also evaluated its association with age, gender, height and weight. Forty healthy adults with complete natural dentition divided into four groups according to gender and presence or absence of TMD signs/symptoms (based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria -RDC) underwent a MBF test with a gnathodynamometer in molar and incisal areas. Statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls test (p=0.05), and the relationship between age, gender, weight, height and MBF was verified by Pearson's correlation test. There were no differences in MBF results between TMD and control groups (p>0.05). Female subjects exhibited lower MBF than male and MBF for the anterior area was lower than that for posterior area (p<0.05). Significant correlation was found between MBF and weight in TMD subjects (p<0.05), except for the anterior area in female subjects. There was a positive correlation between MBF and height in TMD male subjects (p<0.05). Within the limitations of this study, it is possible to conclude that bite force was not affected by TMD. Correlation between MBF and weight in TMD subjects and between MBF and height in TMD male subjects was observed.
