“…Biofilm on the tooth surface and the tongue surface is also cleared by oral cleaning. Previous reports have shown that wiping after oral cleaning has a similar effect of eliminating oral microbes by rinsing and suctioning the mouth in elders with care needs . Our results showed that there was no increase in the number of oral microbes immediately after oral cleaning.…”

This may be because the whole mouth was wiped at the end of oral cleaning in this study.…”

“…Other effective strategies may include mouth wiping with an oral mouth wipe or rigorous tongue cleaning (Ikeda et al, 2014). In particular, consideration should be given to choosing oral care products selectively, including inexpensive batteryoperated toothbrushes and higher-quality dental care products.…”

“…Seven oral function parameters were measured based on a previous report by trained dentists. Briefly, the procedures were as follows: Oral hygiene: The amount of bacteria on the dorsal tongue surface was measured by a bacteria detection apparatus (Bacteria counter, Panasonic Healthcare), and bacteria counts were evaluated as indicators of oral hygiene . A sterilized swab was swiped 3 times in a 10 mm swath on the middle of the dorsal tongue surface.…”

Background Preserving sufficient oral function and maintaining proper nutrition are essential to prevent frailty. Thus, we have developed “munchy” foods that contain harder textures and are rich in protein. Objectives This study aimed to test the effects of masticating textured foods on masticatory muscle activity in young and older adults. Methods Twenty young and 32 community‐dwelling older individuals participated in this study. After measuring oral function, we subdivided the older participants into normal and oral hypofunction (OHF) groups. Two test foods (meatloaf and chicken ball) were prepared to have a harder texture using specific ingredients (munchy) or not (control). The participants ate 10 g of the test foods in random order while being measured for masseter muscle activity with a surface electromyogram (EMG). We calculated the number of chewing cycles and integrated muscle activity of the masseter muscle from the EMG data and tested for differences by food texture or age group. Results The number of chewing cycles, mean EMG amplitude and integrated EMG activity was significantly higher for the munchy foods than for the controls for all groups. The integrated masseter muscle EMG activity was significantly increased in the normal older group than in the young group for both food types, but not significantly different between in OHF and young groups. Conclusions Our findings suggest that eating textured foods will lead to increased masticatory load and therefore increased muscle activity, especially in older adults. Application of textured food may change dietary habits in older adults.
