Chewing Side Preference and Hemispheric Laterality in Healthy Adults

NCT03054246 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: Chewing side preference
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 75
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The study is aimed to investigate if chewing side preference (CSP) can be used as another indicator of hemispheric laterality in healthy adults. Healthy volunteers with no oral/dental problems with Angle I occlusion relationship and without any missing teeth will be included in the study. The CSP will be determined with the visual analog scale (VAS), which is the highly reliable method. Laterality test will be used to determine the preferred side for hands, feet, ears and eyes.

Conditions

Mastication

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Chewing side

  Evaluation of chewing side preference will be performed with VAS.

  1 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Laterality

  1 month

Study Arms (1)

Healthy volunteers

OTHER

Seventy-five healthy volunteers with no oral/dental problems with Angle I occlusion relationship and without any missing teeth will be included in the study. Evaluation of chewing side preference and laterality will be performed.

Other: Evaluation of chewing side preference

Interventions

Evaluation of chewing side preference OTHER

The visual analog scale (VAS) is used. The individual will be asked to make 1 mark on a 10-cm line with " always left" and "always right" at either end and with " no preference" in the middle.
