Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The background of this study is that the eruption time of primary teeth in Japan tends to be "earlier for anterior and later for molars", and this tendency is observed in developed countries such as the United States, but not in developing countries. It can be understood that tooth eruption timing is related to feeding behavior. Continuous measurement in children could not be performed because of the spread of coronavirus infection, especially for children. We intend to continue measurements in children as soon as the epidemic is under control, thereby achieving the objective of this research project. In this study, we investigated the lip function, which is closely related to the tooth eruption of children, and found that the lip function of children during feeding was different from that of adults.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は,小児の摂食行動と歯の萌出時期との関係を明らかにすることを目的とし,近年保険収載された「口腔機能発達不全症」との関連性を視野に入れつつ小児の摂食行動の経時的変化を明らかにすることをねらった.これらが明らかになったあかつきには,日本の現代の食の問題と口腔機能の関連に深長な所見が得られる. コロナの蔓延に伴い,本研究の本来の目的は未達であるが,今後継続的に取り組み,早々に結果を出す所存である.
