“…In the recent studies, tongue pressure and masticatory performance were positively correlated in a sample of young adults (Takahashi et al, 2013); additionally, significant differences in maximum tongue pressure were found between males and females in young adults (Takahashi et al, 2013; Vanderwegen, Guns, Van Nuffelen, Elen, & De Bodt, 2013). The findings were consistent with their results.…”

The aims of the present study were to evaluate whether there are significant differences in masticatory performance by gender and dental stage. We also determined the factors directly associated with the masticatory performance in children, and those directly associated with masticatory performance in young adults. The study included 180 subjects, ranging in age from 6 to 12 years or 20 to 33 years. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the Hellman developmental stage (III A, III B, or VA); the groups were the subdivided according to gender. The body mass index (BMI), maximum tongue pressure, and sum of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) were determined in all subjects. To investigate masticatory performance, the total number and maximum projected area of chewed particles of the jelly materials were measured. Masticatory performance had the highest values at Stage VA in both males and females. Regarding the maximum tongue pressure in females, Stage III B had the highest value of all stages. Multiple regression analysis showed that masticatory performance was associated with DMFT index, maximum tongue pressure, and BMI in children. Among young adults, masticatory performance was associated with DMFT index and maximum tongue pressure. Better masticatory performance is directly associated with better dental status, a higher BMI, and tongue pressure in schoolchildren. Additionally, masticatory performance was well‐correlated with tongue pressure in young adults, although maximum tongue pressure reached its peak before Stage VA in females. We suggest that females need training with respect to tongue pressure, by the mixed dentition stage.

“…Several studies showed that maximum tongue pressure remained constant from 20s to 60s and started to decrease from the 70s in females (Utanohara et al, 2008; Vanderwegen et al, 2013). We suggest that females need training with respect to tongue pressure, by the mixed dentition stage, to increase the peak of tongue pressure.…”

“…This fact can be justified, because, in these tasks, the participants had to press the bulb as much as possible; from the three measurements taken, the highest value was considered (13,14,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) . Therefore, even though the values in the elevation task did not differ between the genders, the factor more muscle mass in the tongue, besides height and weight (11,12) , among male participants may have contributed for the similar values found in these tasks.…”

Purpose: To present the measures for tongue pressure in Brazilian young adults, considering specific tasks, and to verify the differences regarding gender and according to the tasks. Methods: Fifty-one volunteers aged 18 to 28 years, of both genders with normal occlusion and without speech disorders were evaluated. We used the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument in the evaluation of tongue pressure (kilopascal) during specific tests of elevation, protrusion, swallowing, and lateralization, in addition to the endurance test (seconds). The analysis was conducted using analysis of variance, followed by the Tukey's multiple comparison test, adopting a 5% men compared with women for the protrusion and lateralization tasks. The measures of the protrusion and elevation tasks did not differ for men but were higher in both genders than those of the lateralization and the swallowing tests. There was no difference in lateralization according to side in both the genders. Conclusion:The measures for the tongue pressure in Brazilian young adults were determined by specific tasks. Gender influenced the pressure of the tongue values for the protrusion and lateralization tasks. Elevation and protrusion tasks measures were higher than those of the lateralization and swallowing tasks. RESUMOObjetivo: Apresentar valores para a pressão da língua em adultos jovens brasileiros, considerando provas específicas e possíveis diferenças quanto ao gênero e tipo de prova. Método: Foram avaliados 51 voluntários de 18 a 28 anos, ambos os gêneros, com boa relação dento-oclusal e sem alterações de fala. Utilizou-se o Iowa Oral Performance Instrument na avaliação da pressão da língua (Kilopascal) durante as provas de elevação, protrusão, deglutição e lateralização, além do teste de resistência (segundos). Na análise dos resultados foi utilizado o ANOVA, seguido do teste de comparações múltiplas Tukey, adotando o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados:Os valores obtidos, respectivamente para homens e mulheres, na prova de elevação foram 63,94±12,92 e 50,27±15,29, na protrusão 60,22±13,62 e 44,30±12,95, na deglutição 33,94±12,06 e 34,27±13,25, na lateralização à direita 44,15±10,47 e 31,85±8,46, na lateralização à esquerda 43,15±10,22 e 29,55±8,91, e no teste de resistência 24,85±10,95 e 17,35±6,71. Os homens apresentaram valor maior nas provas de protrusão e de lateralização; os valores das provas de protrusão e elevação não diferiram entre si para o gênero masculino, mas foram maiores que a lateralização e a deglutição em ambos os gêneros; não houve diferença na prova de lateralização em relação ao lado em ambos os gêneros. Conclusão: Valores de pressão da língua em adultos jovens brasileiros foram determinados para provas específicas; o gênero influenciou nos valores das provas de protrusão e lateralização; os valores obtidos nas provas de elevação e protrusão foram maiores que na lateralização e deglutição.

Purpose: to verify the relationship between the aspects of tongue clinical evaluation. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 48 healthy adults, 13 men and 35 women (ages 20-44 years, M=24.8 years, SD=5.3years). The following aspects were checked: tongue force, alternate movements, snap, suctionand vibration of the tongue. The evaluator also checked ifthe floor of the mouth elevated during tasks of tongue elevation or sucking tongue on palateand the occurrence of lingual tremor. Results: the aspects with the most frequent alteration were sucking tongue on palate and tongue vibration.Tremor had a higher occurrence during tongue movements.We found statistically significant association between snap and vibration and between vibration and elevation of the floor of the mouth during elevation of the tongue. Tongue force was associated with snap, vibration and elevation of the floor of the mouth during tongue elevation.
