Oral Health-related Patterns of Food Selectivity in Dental Populations

Completed

• Conditions: Oral Disease; Food Selection
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Clinical oral examination; Diagnostic Test: Food behavior

• 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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Non-dental group	Clinical oral examination	62 non-seeking dental treatment subjects, aged 30-65 years, previously recruited within the general population from december 2017 to january 2018. Declared painful conditions including temporo-mandibular disorder, cephalalgia, oral or dental pain were initially considered as excluding conditions. Exclusion criteria also included diagnosis of acute orofacial disease (i.e. rhinitis) or sensory trouble (i.e. anosmia, dysgeusia) neither at the time of the experiment nor in the recent past, pregnancy, head and neck irradiation, eating disorders, enteral or parenteral feeding, and cognitive impairment or impaired communication. They took part in an individual session with a dental practitioner of about 30-min during which food selectivity, medical history, and oral health status were assessed.
Dental group	Food behavior	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). Inclusion criteria were: age between 35 and 65 years, literate French speakers, willing and able to complete the survey in a single setting. Patients suffering from cognitive impairment or impaired communication were excluded. They took part in an individual session with a dental practitioner of about 30-min during which food selectivity, medical history, and oral health status were assessed.

Dental group	Clinical oral examination	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). Inclusion criteria were: age between 35 and 65 years, literate French speakers, willing and able to complete the survey in a single setting.

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.
