| Research Abstract |
To develop a handy method of functional oral examination for dementia elderly, the function of sucking a lollipop candy was evaluated quantitatively and its relation to other oral functions were studied. The results showed the sucking candy function didn't correlate strongly with oral diadochokinesis (the speed of repeating the syllables /pa/, /ta/, and /ka/), tongue pressure, cheek pressure, the amount of saliva. Many elderly people who have low cognitive function could comply with the new examination. The candy sucking function was associated with their food configuration. Finally, it was suggested that the examination is effective for evaluating oral function in people with dementia.
