Chewing Side Preference and Hemispheric Laterality in Healthy Adults

February 23, 2017 updated by: SELEN SEREL ARSLAN, Hacettepe University

Chewing Side Preference is Associated With Hemispheric Laterality in Healthy Adults

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.

Detailed Description

Lateral preference is important to determine hemispheric laterality, which is usually diagnosed by hand and other sidedness, including footedness, eyedness and earedness. 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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Healthy volunteers
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
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.
