目的：本研究的目的是验证一种可自行实现的咀嚼性能评价方法的有效性，该方法采用一种新开发的变色口香糖色标。方法：我们开发了一种专用色标，使任何人都可以轻松检查口香糖的颜色，而无需使用专业设备。为了检验由受试者自己评估咀嚼行为的可靠性，研究人员招募了三组受试者，每组6人：一组是牙医，一组是成年人，一组是老年人，他们被要求用色标来检查咀嚼过的样品的颜色。研究了色标与色度计测定口香糖颜色的相关性，以证实色标的有效性。为了评估信度，我们测定了类内相关系数（ICCs）。结果：色度计测得的A *值与色量表的平均得分之间存在很强的相关性。三组审查员内部和审查员之间一致性的ICCs均大于0.88。结论：本研究证实了用色标法对变色口香糖进行比色分析作为一种自我实现的咀嚼性能评价方法的有效性和可靠性。(C) 2009年日本口腔修复学会。由爱思唯尔爱尔兰出版。版权所有。
Purpose: The objective of this study was to confirm the validity of a Self-Implementable method to evaluate masticatory performance using a newly developed color scale and color-changeable chewing gum.Methods: We developed a dedicated color scale that enables anyone to easily check the color of the chewing gum instead of using specialist equipment. To examine the reliability of evaluating the masticatory performance by the subjects themselves, three groups of six subjects were recruited: a group of dentists, a group of adults and a group of elderly adults were asked to check the colors of the chewed samples using the color scale. The correlation between the use of the color scale and the use of a colorimeter to determine the color of the chewing gum was studied to confirm the validity of the color scale. To assess the reliability, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were determined.Results: A strong correlation was found between the a*value measured by the colorimeter and the mean scores from the color scale. The ICCs for intra-examiner and inter-examiner consistency were more than 0.88 for all three groups.Conclusions: This research confirmed the validity and reliability of colorimetric analysis of color-changeable chewing gum using a color scale as a Self-Implementable method of evaluating masticatory performance.
