OBJECTIVE
To study bolus-size of different foods in 8- to 10-year-olds and appraise if 1.7-2 g of condensation silicone (Optosil®) is an adequate size to study masticatory performance in children.
METHODS
Bolus-size of seven foods (carrot, almonds, sausage, banana, cookie, gummy bears, raisins) (placed in random order on a scale) was studied in 20 children, aged 8-10 years. Children picked up the amount they would normally take of each, and chewed and swallowed it (three repetitions/each).
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Descriptive; comparisons with ad hoc tests.
RESULTS
There are no gender differences in bolus-size. Bolus-size was constant but different for each food.There is no pattern of bolus-size depending on hardness. Bolus-size was largest for banana; smallest foralmonds. Bite-size for carrot (food most similar to Optosil®) is 2.6 times larger than the size used for Optosil®.
DISCUSSION
The results support using this bolus-size of the artificial-test-food to further study masticatory function in children.
目的
研究8至10岁儿童食用不同食物的食团大小，并评估1.7 - 2克缩合硅橡胶（Optosil®）作为研究儿童咀嚼性能的食团大小是否合适。
方法
对20名8至10岁儿童研究了七种食物（胡萝卜、杏仁、香肠、香蕉、饼干、小熊软糖、葡萄干）的食团大小（将食物随机放在秤上）。儿童拿起他们通常食用每种食物的量，咀嚼并吞咽（每种食物重复三次）。
统计分析
描述性分析；采用专门检验进行比较。
结果
食团大小不存在性别差异。每种食物的食团大小是恒定的，但各不相同。食团大小不存在取决于硬度的模式。香蕉的食团大小最大；杏仁的最小。胡萝卜（与Optosil®最相似的食物）的一口大小比用于Optosil®的大小大2.6倍。
讨论
结果支持使用这种人工测试食物的食团大小来进一步研究儿童的咀嚼功能。
