Oral Health-related Patterns of Food Selectivity in Dental Populations

Completed

• Conditions: Oral Disease; Food Selection

• Registration Number: NCT06140654
• Lead Sponsor: Hôpital Rothschild

Brief Summary

The present study was undertaken in order to describe the clinical profiles of food selective behavior in 35-65 years dental and non-dental populations.

Detailed Description

The study population included 125 participants, recruited within the general population and in a dental clinic: -Non-dental group included 62 non-seeking dental treatment subjects, aged 30-65 years, previously recruited during the OralPom survey. -Dental group included 63 patients recruited from September 2019 to December 2020 among patients seeking/pending dental treatment within the university dental clinic of the Rothschild hospital (AP-HP Sorbonne University, Paris, France).

Both groups took part in an individual session with a dental practitioner during which food selectivity, medical history, and oral health status were assessed.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Food selectivity score	During clinical examination session (1 hour) at baseline	The food selectivity score measures the number of avoided foods. The score ranges from 0 to 71, 0 meaning no food selectivity and 71 meaning high food selectivity.
