Objective: This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with masticatory performance, as measured with a chewing gum containing spherical resinous microparticles, and to evaluate the method by examining the relationship with self-reported masticatory status. Methods: The participants in this study comprised 903 industrial workers (mean age, $42.2{\pm}11.6years$). A questionnaire was administered to assess self-reported masticatory status. The masticatory performance score was calculated by counting the number of particles in the chewing gum. Clinical oral examinations were administered. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted on the masticatory performance scores to examine the related factors. Analysis of covariance was conducted to investigate the association between the masticatory performance score and the self-reported masticatory status. Results: Significant predictors of the masticatory performance score were sex (p<0.001), age (p<0.001), decayed teeth (p=0.009), total-functional tooth units (p<0.001), periodontitis (p=0.003), and malocclusion (p=0.011). The relationship between the masticatory performance score and the self-reported masticatory status was attenuated after controlling for confounding factors. Conclusion: The masticatory performance increased with age and decreased as the oral health status worsened. Using this chewing gum method partly, but not comprehensively, reflects masticatory performance. Therefore, various masticatory performance-related indexes should be employed to measure masticatory performance accurately.

정상교합자와 골격성 III급 부정교합자의 저작운동형태를 비교연구하기위해서 30명의 정상교합자와 20명의 골격성 III급 부정교합자를 대상으로 츄잉검을 사용하고 BioPAK system을 이용하여 전두면상에서 저작운동을 기록, 분석하였다. 각 개체마다 대표하는 저작경로를 정하여 저작폭경, 개구거리, 개구각, 페구각, 최대개구속도, 최대폐구속도를 알아보았다. 또 저작경로의 형태에 따라 특징적인 7가지 패턴으로 분류하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. 정상교합자군에 비해 골격성 III급 부정교합자군에서는 좀 더 다양하고 수직적인 저작양상을 나타내었다. 2. 저작폭경의 비교에서는 골격성 III급 부정교합자군이 정상교합자군에 비해 더 좁게 나타났다(p<0.01) 3. 개구거리에서는 골격성 III급 부정교합자군이 정상교합자군에 비해 더 작게 나타났으나 통계학적으로 유의성은 없었다(p>0.05). 4. 개구각과 폐구각에서는 골격성 III급 부정교합자군에서 정상교합자군보다 더욱 예각으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 5. 최대개구속도, 최대폐구속도에서는 정상교합자군에 비해 골격성 III급 부정교합자군에서 느리게 나타났으나 통계학적으로 유의성은 없었다(p>0.05). 6. 저작운동형태에 따른 분류에서 정상교합자군에서는 Type II가 73.4%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였으나, 골격성 III 급 부정교합자군에서는 Type III가 35.0%, Type II가 30.0%로 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 7. 저작운동형 태에 따른 분류에서 골격성 III급 부정교합자군에서는 Type IV(chopping type)가 25.0%로 정상교합자군 3.3%에 비해 많은 비율을 차지하였다.

The micromovements and stress distributions of cancellous bone in dental implant system play important roles in evaluating chewing function of an implant system. The micromovements and stress distributions in dental implant system generally depend on the chewing force and bone properties. Three dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis has been employed to investigate this issue quantitatively. Chewing forces and bone properties are classified into several groups and three types of implants involving one classical cylindrical type and two expandable implants are investigated in this paper.

성악인, 무대예술인, 교사 등 음성직업인에 빈발하는 성대결절에 의한 음성장애는 공포의 대상이 될 뿐 아니라 수술적 제거에도 많은 신경을 쓰게 된다. 성대결절 수술제거의 적응을 결정하기에 앞서 음성치료의 일환으로 저작법을 시행하여 좋은 성과를 얻는 경우가 있다. 최근 성대결절 환자인 성악인 두명(남녀가 1명)과 교사 1명에게 저작법을 시행하여 좋은 효과를 얻었기에 문헌적 고찰과 아울러 보고하는 바이다.

이 연구는 우리나라 노인의 구강건강 개선을 위하여 현재 저작 불편 호소와 치과 보철 필요와의 관련성을 평가하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 제5기 1차년도 국민건강영양조사에 참여한 65세 이상 노인 1,177명을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 구강검사를 통하여 상실치아와 필요 보철 상태를 파악하였으며, 구조화된 설문도구를 이용하여 사회경제요인, 구강건강 관심도, 저작능력과 발음문제를 조사하였다. 수합된 자료는 SPSS 19.0 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. 우리나라 노인의 42.9%는 저작 불편을 호소하였으며, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통하여 혼란변수를 보정한 결과 고정 보철 필요 위험비는 1.22, 부분의치 필요 위험비는 2.47, 총의치 필요 위험비는 2.06이었다. 치과보철 필요는 저작 불편 호소와 관련이 있었다. 따라서 노인을 위한 치과 보철 정책과 구강건강증진의 뒷받침이 가장 필요하다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study examined the associations between food consumption frequency of Korean adults and self-perceived chewing difficulty, using the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ, 112 items) from 2013-2016 of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). SUBJECTS/METHODS: Subjects were divided into not difficult in chewing (NDC) and difficult in chewing (DC) groups, with 24.17% being classified into DC. Males and females consumed 35 and 37 items less frequently than the other sex, respectively. Due to the remarkable gender difference in food consumption, gender-stratified one-sided survey regression analysis was performed after adjusted for the effect of age, household income, and self-rated health status. RESULTS: Thirty-four items of FFQ were significantly less consumed by the DC group. Females exclusively consumed less beverages and alcohol while males showed the same for fruits and milk·dairy products. Consumption frequency of 8 items such as steamed potatoes·grilled potatoes, stir fried beef, other kimchi·fresh vegetable kimchi, orange, sour pork·pork cutlet, tteokbokki and green tea were significant only in males. In contrast, 17 items including cooked rice with other grains and legumes, boiled egg·steamed egg, Korean cabbage kimchi, banana, and tofu stew·soft tofu stew were significant only for females. Finally, items that showed significance for both were 9 items including loaf bread, ready-to-eat cereal, steamed sweet potatoes·grilled sweet potatoes, stir-fried lotus roots·stir-fried burdock, green laver salad·brown seaweed salads, apples, tomato·cherry tomatoes, squid (raw, dried shredded, boiled, stir-fried), and curd type yogurt. CONCLUSIONS: Findings in this study suggest chewing difficulty may be an important nutritional issue that has to be dealt with for healthful food consumption, with distinct interest of gender.

The variation of rumination response in steers fed a same amount of orcharograss hay was investigated. With three steers (6, 12, 24 months) of the Japanese Black Breed, rumination behaviour was measured continuously during a 5 days period by masseter EMG telemetry system. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The average daily ruminatio time of respective animals were 438,447 and 433 min. with small daily variation both within and among animal. But the rumination time per DM kg of hay consumed varied from 66 to 138 min., and calf spent longer than older calf. 2. Actural chewing time showed small variation, and percentage of actural chewing time spent in rumination time was from 88 to 93% on individual average. 3. The daily number of chewing in rumination was approximately 25,000 to 30,000 with large individual differences. The chews per DM kg intake varied from 3,800 to 9,600, and calf chewed more than older calf. 4. The average rate of chewing per 100 sec. (chewing speed), there was a large difference between animals I.e. 104, 114, 131 respectively, but very little variance between days in individual. 5. No relation between day to day variations in eating time and rumination behavior, but significantly positive correlation was observed in the relation among rumination time, chewing time, No. of boluses and No. of chews. 6. Active time of day in rumination altered considerably day to day, but variation in the amount of rumination per day as expressed by the rumination time was relatively small.

Background: This study aimed to determine the association between betel quid chewing and the occurrence of upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers. Methods: A cohort of 17,388 subjects, recruited and interviewed over the 1990-2001 period, in Khon Kaen, Thailand, was followed up until 2011. The data were linked to the Khon Kaen Population-Based Cancer Registry. Results: The prevalence of betel quid chewing was 15.9%, with a female predominance (97.7%); the mean age of chewers was 57.7 years (SD 6.6). The overall incidence of UADT cancers from the cohort was 14.7 per 100,000 person-years, whereas the incidence among the chewers was 45.7. Betel nut chewing was the only major risk factor for UADT cancers in this population (HR=5.26, 95%CI=2.51-11.0), while weak associations were found for tobacco smoking and alcohol (HR=1.16, 95%CI=0.45-3.01 and 1.47, 95%CI=0.72-3.03 respectively). Conclusions: We found betel quid chewing to be a main risk factor for UADT cancers, resulting in a higher incidence in females. However, further study is required to explore the potential risk factors among non-chewers, non-smokers, and non-drinkers.
