Edible Bite Force Sensor: A Novel Approach to Measuring Bite Force in Biomedical and Dental Applications. [PDF]

Med Sci Monit
BACKGROUND Measurement of bite force plays a crucial role in assessment of the masticatory system. With a growing interest in detecting occlusal irregularities, bite force sensors have garnered attention in the biomedical field. This study aimed to introduce a hydrogel bite force sensor, based on hydroxyethyl-cellulose-fructose-water (HEC-F-water), for

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 ...

Bite force production and the origin of <i>Homo</i>. [PDF]

R Soc Open Sci
The divergence of Homo from gracile australopiths has been described as a trend of decreasing dentognathic size and robusticity, precipitated by stone tool use and/or a shift to softer foods, including meat. Yet, mechanical evidence supporting this narrative is sparse, and isotopic and archaeological data have led ...

Quantifying bite force in coexisting tayassuids and feral suids: a comparison between morphometric functional proxies and in vivo measurements [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Background Measuring mammals’ bite force in laboratory conditions is not a simple task, let alone on wild medium-sized mammals in the field. Thus, morphometric-proxies are usually used to infer morphofunctional properties of musculoskeletal features. For

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

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003
SUMMARY 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). Despite the widespread use of these models in comparative analyses, experimental data documenting bite force in non-human

Type of correlation between bite force and EMG activity of the temporalis and masseter muscles during maximal and submaximal clenching [PDF]

Folia Medica, 2023
Introduction: Maximal bite force is an important determinant of masticatory function and is essential for the estimation of dental status. Bite force is usually measured by gnathodynamometry.

The Better to Eat You With: Bite Force in the Naked Mole-Rat (Heterocephalus glaber) Is Stronger Than Predicted Based on Body Size

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019
Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) are subterranean rodents that utilize their incisors for feeding, chisel-tooth digging of complex tunnel systems, social interactions, and defense in their eusocial colony structure.

Evaluation of occlusal forces in different stages of children - An exploratory study

Saudi Journal of Oral Sciences, 2018
Introduction: Bite force is one of the indicators of the functional state of mastication and loading of teeth. Bite force measurement is a reliable method of assessing the biomechanical properties of the masticatory system.
