Jaw Bite Force Measurement Device
Journal of Oral Implantology, 2012We describe a cost-effective device that uses an off-the-shelf force transducer to measure patient bite force as a diagnostic aid in determining dental implant size, number of implants, and prosthetic design for restoring partial edentulism. The main advantages of the device are its accuracy, simplicity, modularity, ease of manufacturing, and low cost.

The regulation of the jaw bite force in man
Archives of Oral Biology, 1976Abstract Experiments were carried out on 12 adult subjects to measure their ability to grade forces between their anterior teeth when using different conditions of perceptual reference. The subjects placed their anterior teeth across a force transducer to produce isometric forces corresponding to a series of integers called by the experimenter in ...

Bite force measurement in awake rats
Brain Research Protocols, 2004This report describes the implementation of bite force measurement in awake rats and software instruments (Spike 2 script programs) that quantify and analyze the bite force data. One script program employs user-defined control of threshold bite force, which allows an easy adjustment of target force prior to training the rat.

On the regulation of interincisor bite force in man
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1980SummaryThe maximum bite force and the ability to perform a requested interincisor bite force was tested on eight healthy subjects with normal dentition and on five full denture wearers under various conditions.Anaesthesia of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) capsular and/or periodontal receptors, with or without simultaneous vibration‐induced increase of ...

Human discrimination of different bite forces
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1984SummaryTwenty young adult subjects were selected to determine normal baseline data of dynamic interdental bite force discrimination by use of a specially designed strain gauge instrument. The data may aid in defining the role of the periodontal ligament, temporomandibular joint and muscles of mastication in the regulation of interincisor bite force.

Biting Forces in Patients with Craniomandibular Disorders
CRANIO®, 1989Treatment for 10 female patients having craniomandibular disorders of neuromuscular origin showed a reduction in dysfunctional symptoms and improvement in their condition. In response to treatment, a standardized recording method was used to measure alterations to bite force values.

Bite Forces with Mandibular Implant-retained Overdentures
Journal of Dental Research, 1998Sensitivity or pain of the mucoperiosteum covering the mandibular edentulous ridge is often thought to limit bite forces in complete-denture wearers. Therefore, bite forces with mandibular implant-retained overdentures may depend on the degree of implant support. This study analyzed the effects of different degrees of support for the mandibular denture

Masticatory Function and Bite Force in Stroke Patients
Journal of Dental Research, 2010Orofacial functions are frequently affected by stroke, but little is known on the nature and extent of the impairment of mastication, which is investigated in this observational study. Thirty-one stroke patients, aged 69.0 ± 12.7 yrs, presenting with a hemi-syndrome with facial palsy, were recruited. Chewing efficiency, maximum bite and restraining lip
