Bite force and state of dentition

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 1977
The maximal bite force and the strength of the finger-thumb grip of 125 Skolt Lapps, aged 15 to 65, was measured with a specially devised apparatus. The bite force was measured with the biting fork placed between the first molars and between the incisors, respectively.

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.

Bite Force and Occlusion

Seminars in Orthodontics, 2006
Maximum bite force is a useful indicator of the functional state of the masticatory system and the loading of the teeth, and its recordings can be performed in a relatively simple way in the clinic. However, because maximum bite-force levels vary with method, sex and age, it is important that the measurements are compared against the appropriate ...

Bite force in children with bruxism

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 1973
The bite force of 51 twelve-year-old bruxists was compared with that of a control group of the same age, in order to establish whether bruxism affects bite force and whether there is any connection between the degree of tooth abrasion and bite force.

Forces acting on the mandible during bilateral static bite at different bite force levels

Journal of Biomechanics, 1980
Abstract A mathematical model based on an assumed linear relationship between the forces exerted by a muscle and its integrated electromyogram is presented for calculating muscle forces and joint forces acting on the human mandible during static bite situations.

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.

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

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 after temporomandibular joint surgery

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1988
Bitings were recorded bilaterally on 5 different submaximal and maximal force levels on 12 patients (7 women and 5 men) who had earlier been subjected to TMJ surgery (10 diskectomies and 2 condylectomies). The maximal bite force was relatively low for the recorded sample with mean values of 7.8 Kp and 8.3 Kp for operated and non-operated sides ...

Measurement of dynamic bite force during mastication

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2012
Summary  Efficient mastication of different types and size of food depends on fast integration of sensory information from mechanoreceptors and central control mechanisms of jaw movements and applied bite force. The neural basis underlying mastication has been studied for decades but little progress in understanding the dynamics of bite force has been ...

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.
