Impact of a Pivoting Bite Tip on Bite Force Measurement Tests

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
Present a gnathodynamometer design that increases patient comfort, precision, and/or ease for the operator during bite force tests.A bite tip capable of pivoting 180° was tested on senior dental students in a double-blind trial. The tests were performed in teeth 11 and 16 with the bite tip on the long axis of the clamp and at an angle of 90° to the ...

Bite force and state of dentition

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 1977
The maximal bite force and the strength of the finger-thumb grip of 125 Skolt Lapps, aged 15 to 65, was measured with a specially devised apparatus. The bite force was measured with the biting fork placed between the first molars and between the incisors, respectively.

Bite force in children with bruxism

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 1973
The bite force of 51 twelve-year-old bruxists was compared with that of a control group of the same age, in order to establish whether bruxism affects bite force and whether there is any connection between the degree of tooth abrasion and bite force.

Estimating human incisal bite forces from the electromyogram/bite-force function

Archives of Oral Biology, 1994
This study used the electromyogram (EMG)/force-function curve as a means of estimating functional bite forces. Surface EMG recordings were made for the masseter and anterior temporalis muscles bilaterally in ten adults while incisal bite forces were measured using a force transducer embedded in custom-made hydroplastic bite blocks.

Forces acting on the mandible during bilateral static bite at different bite force levels

Journal of Biomechanics, 1980
Abstract A mathematical model based on an assumed linear relationship between the forces exerted by a muscle and its integrated electromyogram is presented for calculating muscle forces and joint forces acting on the human mandible during static bite situations.

Pathologic attrition and maximal bite force

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1985
SummaryThe maximal bite force was recorded between antagonizing anterior teeth in a group (n= 10) of patients with pathologic attrition and in a control group. No statistically significant difference between the maximal bite forces was recorded. Also, the effect on the maximal bite force of the continuous wearing of a partial bite raising splint for 4 ...

An instrument for the measurement of incisive bite force

Journal of Dentistry, 1973
Abstract The various types of gnathodynamometers described in the literature have been considered in terms of use in the intact dentition. None was found suitable. A gnathodynamometer is described for use in monitoring the bite force of the human intact dentition.

Bite Force and Occlusion

Seminars in Orthodontics, 2006
Maximum bite force is a useful indicator of the functional state of the masticatory system and the loading of the teeth, and its recordings can be performed in a relatively simple way in the clinic. However, because maximum bite-force levels vary with method, sex and age, it is important that the measurements are compared against the appropriate ...

Tooth Loss and Biting Force in Man

Journal of Dental Research, 1973
Changes in the biting force of a group of patients who underwent immediate denture treatment are reported for a period of four years. Force increased with time and was independent of dental state. After two years the average biting force approached that recorded for dentate individuals. The periodontal membrane does not appear to play an essential part

Bite Force Discrimination with Mandibular Movement

CRANIO®, 1985
AbstractThis study investigates the influence of jaw movement on bite force discrimination by comparing subjects' performances during static and dynamic conditions. The authors had hypothesized that exerting bite force with mandibular movement might activate the dynamic sensory receptors within the TMJs and the proprioceptors in the jaw elevator ...
