Detailed Description

The KCPS was developed by physical therapists who had expertise in pediatric swallowing disorders. This scale could be used as a practical tool to define chewing disorders as a common language for professionals due to its quick and easy to use features. However, its reliability in other professions has not been verified. The study will investigate to verify whether pediatric dentists could determine chewing performance level by using Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale in children.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Children with cerebral palsy
Children who will be referred to pediatric dentistry above the age of 2 years.
Diagnostic test: Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale
For chewing evaluation, children will be asked to bite and chew a standardized biscuit. Each chewing evaluation will be scored according to the KCPS.
Children with typical development
Children who will be referred to pediatric dentistry above the age of 2 years.
Diagnostic test: Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale
For chewing evaluation, children will be asked to bite and chew a standardized biscuit. Each chewing evaluation will be scored according to the KCPS.
