A novel sensor for bite force determinations

Dental Materials, 2003
The clinical usefulness, accuracy and precision of a novel bite force sensor based on force sensing resistors were tested in six subjects wearing maxillary removable partial dentures retained by conical crowns.The surfaces of the sensor were manufactured in a silicone material that had mechanical properties similar to those of tough foodstuffs.

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 ...

The regulation of the jaw bite force in man

Archives of Oral Biology, 1976
Abstract 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 ...

Jaw Bite Force Measurement Device

Journal of Oral Implantology, 2012
We 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.

Human discrimination of different bite forces

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1984
SummaryTwenty 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®, 1989
Treatment 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.

On the regulation of interincisor bite force in man

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1980
SummaryThe 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 ...

Bite force measurement in awake rats

Brain Research Protocols, 2004
This 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.

Bite Forces with Mandibular Implant-retained Overdentures

Journal of Dental Research, 1998
Sensitivity 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.

Masticatory Function and Bite Force in Stroke Patients

Journal of Dental Research, 2010
Orofacial 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.
