The present study aimed at analysing the probable effects of full mouth oral rehabilitation on bite forces at their maximum extent in young paediatric patients with primary as well as mixed dentitions.
The present study is one of a kind and explores the maximum bite forces in young children. A statistically significant number of children ( = 30) with a mean age of 6.54 years. About 44.75% were boys and 55.25% were girls. The maximum voluntary bite force was assessed for each participant immediately before treatment and 1 month (3-5 weeks) following completion of the needful dental treatment. The difference in bite force magnitude before and after dental treatment was analysed statistically. In addition, the correlations of key variables including, age, height, weight, BMI, gender and caries severity or dental status with maximum bite force were statistically analysed.
The mean maximum bite force for the total sample ( = 30) prior to treatment was found to be 167.83 N (SD = 65.20). The mean bite force in the male subgroup was 175.39 N (SD = 64.69) while for the females the mean bite force was equal to 166.29 N (SD = 68.93). Following comprehensive dental treatment, the recorded mean maximum bite force for the children ( = 30) who attended the post-treatment review appointment was 182.60 N (SD = 68.58).
The essential factors such as the extent of dental caries, their severity, presence of clinical signs and symptoms has a negative impact on maximum bite force.
本研究旨在分析全口口腔修复对乳牙列及混合牙列的年轻儿科患者最大咬合力的可能影响。
本研究独具特色,探索了幼儿的最大咬合力。纳入了具有统计学意义数量的儿童(n = 30),平均年龄为6.54岁。约44.75%为男孩,55.25%为女孩。在每位参与者进行必要的牙科治疗前及治疗完成后1个月(3 - 5周),评估其最大自主咬合力。对牙科治疗前后咬合力大小的差异进行统计学分析。此外,对包括年龄、身高、体重、BMI、性别以及龋齿严重程度或牙齿状况等关键变量与最大咬合力的相关性进行统计学分析。
治疗前整个样本(n = 30)的平均最大咬合力为167.83 N(标准差 = 65.20)。男性亚组的平均咬合力为175.39 N(标准差 = 64.69),而女性的平均咬合力为166.29 N(标准差 = 68.93)。经过全面的牙科治疗后,参加治疗后复查预约的儿童(n = 30)记录的平均最大咬合力为182.60 N(标准差 = 68.58)。
诸如龋齿程度、严重程度、临床体征和症状的存在等关键因素对最大咬合力有负面影响。
