Effects of bruxism on the maximum bite force [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2017 Background/Aim. Bruxism is a parafunctional activity of the masticatory system, which is characterized by clenching or grinding of teeth. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the presence of bruxism has impact on maximum bite force, with ...

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 ...
