Chewing Side Preference and 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.

About this study

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. 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.

Treatment and study plan

Evaluation of chewing side preference

Other

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Chewing side

    Time frame: 1 month

    Evaluation of chewing side preference will be performed with VAS.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Laterality

    Time frame: 1 month

    Evaluation of laterality will be performed with Laterality test
