Overview

Has been developed by the art and Lotte, gum color changes with the progress of the chewing.
The degree of color change after a certain number of chewing, it is possible to determine the

chewing ability. Simple, fast and can be used regardless of the inspector and the subject, there
are advantages such as, applications in various fields can be expected.

using a chemical reaction 2) anyone can use 2)the use of a dedicated color scale of in visual evaluation, that is, it is possible to only
chewing ability evaluation to compare the color to the eye. This can be done without a dental professional. 3) simple, quick because only
to evaluate the color after chewing, can be implemented in a few minutes. 4) homogenized plant product, homogeneity of the evaluation
sample for an individual package is maintained.

How to use

but recommended the following methods as basic, corresponding to should be appropriate depending on the intended use before
chewing food, avoid after 30 minutes of toothpaste mouthwash for 15 seconds to measure just before the time of chewing once
per second chewing of one side in the chewing chewing number of times 60 times (no lowering of significantly chewing ability, such
as tooth chin person to have those who are 100 times) after chewing crushed thin, color evaluation and as much as possible as soon

Effective use

<Research>

color change continues a long, taking advantage say does not matter evaluated, wide target is particularly useful for studies such that
subject. In addition, in order to be easily measured, easier to use, researchers other than the dental field, large-scale survey to be useful
<clinical> chewing ability evaluation be used in chewing ability management of the prosthesis before and after and during maintenance
it can. communication tool to evaluate the chewing ability by the color change, it is easy to interpret in a patient. By getting to check
the color change, it is possible to get to experience the change of chewing ability. <Education, enlightenment> health promotion events
it is also easy to adapt to the population. By getting a look at the color asked to chewing to the participants at the time of the lecture, it
can be used as a tool to appeal the importance of chewing. <Self-health management> personal use voluntarily, by chewing on a
regular basis color change gum, it is possible to manage the change of their own chewing ability. In the art HP to support the chewing
