Conditions studied: Mastication, Disability, Oral Stage, Child Development
In brief
This project aims at studying the evolution of masticatory function (food bolus granulometry, masticatory behavior, muscle activity and masticatory performance) during oral rehabilitation, in children with different types of oral health impairment. Secondary objectives are to study the relationships between children masticatory function (food bolus granulometry, masticatory behavior, muscle activity and masticatory performance) and its evolution during oral rehabilitation, and: * their type of oral health alteration * their eating behaviors * their height and weight status During examination the following parameters are collected: * Various clinical indicators of oral health * The child's weight and height * Frequency and nature of orofacial dysfunctions * The oral health related quality of life of children and their families * Chewing tests are performed (chewing gum, natural food such as carrot, cereals, and cheese samples, samples of gelatins of different hardness) Examination and differents tests are performed every six months for a total of 5 years (per participant) The dental care procedures performed during the study were carried out in the usual way.
