The effects of gape angle and bite point on bite force in bats [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003
Models of mammalian mastication predict that bite force is affected by both the degree of mouth opening (gape angle) and the point along the tooth row at which force is transferred to a food item (bite point).

Bite Forces and Their Measurement in Dogs and Cats [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018
Bite force is generated by the interaction of the masticatory muscles, the mandibles and maxillae, the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), and the teeth. Several methods to measure bite forces in dogs and cats have been described. Direct in vivo measurement

Bite Force Recording Devices - A Review [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017
In dental research, bite force serves as a valuable parameter to evaluate the efficacy of masticatory system. A variety of devices with different design and working principle have been used to record bite force, but no single device is capable to record

Estimated and in vivo measurements of bite force demonstrate exceptionally large bite forces in parrots (Psittaciformes)

Journal of Anatomy
Jaw morphology and function determine the range of dietary items that an organism can consume. Bite force is a function of the force exerted by the jaw musculature and applied via the skeleton.

Bite force data suggests relationship between acrodont tooth implantation and strong bite force [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Extant and extinct reptiles exhibit numerous combinations of tooth implantation and attachment. Tooth implantation ranges from those possessing roots and lying within a socket (thecodonty), to teeth lying against the lingual wall of the jawbone ...

The ontogeny of maximum bite force in humans

Journal of Anatomy, 2020
Ontogenetic changes in the human masticatory complex suggest that bite force, a key measure of chewing performance, increases throughout growth and development.

Bite Force and Influential Factors on Bite Force Measurements: A Literature Review [PDF]

European Journal of Dentistry, 2010
Maximum voluntary bite force is an indicator of the functional state of the masticatory system and the level of maximum bite force results from the combined action of the jaw elevator muscles modified by jaw biomechanics and reflex mechanisms. The measurement of bite force can provide useful data for the evaluation of jaw muscle function and activity ...

Handgrip force and bite force in dentulous and edentulous individuals

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2023
Abstract Background The literature is unclear about bite force (BF) and handgrip force (HF) in a specific group of different ages and dentate conditions, or even a predictive model for each specific group, using BF and HF as factors ...
