Summary:	Background. Chewing function may be influenced by several factors, including physiological and anatomical features, but there are few studies exploring these factors in children. Aims. To assess the chewing function of children with mixed dentition by means of a mixing-ability test using a two-color chewing gum, and to test the correlation between chewing performance and occlusal bite force. Design. A sample of 43 children with mixed dentition was selected. Masticatory tests were performed using a two-colour chewing gum that was chewed for 10, 20 and 30 chewing cycles, performed in a random order. The chewed specimens were flattened, scanned, and both sides of digitalized images were submitted to electronic colourimetric analysis to assess the level of colour mixture, measured by the circular variance of hue (VOH). The maximum occlusal bite force (MOBF) was determined by measuring the bite force at maximum occlusion in the region of primary molars. Results. Positive regression coefficients were observed there was a decrease in VOH values as the number of chewing cycles increased. Conclusion. The results of VOH demonstrated that the tested method was effective for the analysis of chewing performance in children, and bite force and coordination required to chew the gum are different and uncorrelated aspects.
