An instrument for the measurement of incisive bite force

Journal of Dentistry, 1973
Abstract The various types of gnathodynamometers described in the literature have been considered in terms of use in the intact dentition. None was found suitable. A gnathodynamometer is described for use in monitoring the bite force of the human intact dentition.

A novel bite force recorder and maximal isometric bite force values for healthy young adults [PDF]

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1993
Human bite forces have been studied with several types of equipment, and the maximal values reported have varied greatly. In the present study, a new bite force recorder was developed to measure human bite forces. When measuring maximal bite force, the mandible is, laterally and sagittally, almost in the intercuspal position, while the vertical opening

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 ...

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.

Pathologic attrition and maximal bite force

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1985
SummaryThe maximal bite force was recorded between antagonizing anterior teeth in a group (n= 10) of patients with pathologic attrition and in a control group. No statistically significant difference between the maximal bite forces was recorded. Also, the effect on the maximal bite force of the continuous wearing of a partial bite raising splint for 4 ...

Tooth Loss and Biting Force in Man

Journal of Dental Research, 1973
Changes in the biting force of a group of patients who underwent immediate denture treatment are reported for a period of four years. Force increased with time and was independent of dental state. After two years the average biting force approached that recorded for dentate individuals.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
