Abstract

Purpose

Masticatory efficiency is defined as an individual ability to grind and pulverize food material, and can be influenced by many factors. This research aimed to investigate the association between masticatory efficiency and deep carious lesion.

Methods

The research included 48 children (24 male, 24 female) aged from 3 to 14 years. Participants were allocated to two groups; children with no or with only incipient carious lesions were included in the first group (ICDAS levels 0, 1, or 2), and children with bilateral deep carious lesions that are ICDAS levels 4, 5, and 6 were included in the second group. Information on dental parameters (dental status, ICDAS level of each carious lesion), and level of pain (Wong-Baker scale) were collected from each participant. Participants chewed Optosil® test food for 20 masticatory cycles, and chewed particles were analyzed by the optical scanning method.

Results

There is a significant difference in masticatory efficiency variables (number of chewed particles, minimal and maximal Feret diameter, Sauter mean diameter, a mean and total surface of particles) between groups. A positive significant correlation is observed between WBS level and time needed for masticatory performance in a group of children with deep carious lesions.

Conclusion

Deep carious lesions in children are associated with a decrease in masticatory efficiency. Moreover, children with carious lesions that provoke a higher level of pain take more time for masticatory cycles.
