Clade-wide variation in bite-force performance is determined primarily by size, not ecology
Performance traits are tightly linked to the fitness of organisms. However, because studies of variation in performance traits generally focus on just one or several closely related species, we are unable to draw broader conclusions about how and why ...

Bite Force in Elderly with Full Natural Dentition and Different Rehabilitation Prosthesis
(1) Background: This study aimed to investigate maximum bite force (MBF) in elderly patients with natural full dentition (FD), patients rehabilitated with Traditional Complete Dentures (CD), with overdentures (IRO) and edentulous patients (ED).

Comparative evaluation of bite force in paediatric patients
Aim: The present study aimed at analysing the probable effects of full mouth oral rehabilitation on bite forces at their maximum extent in young paediatric patients with primary as well as mixed dentitions. Methodology: The present study is one of a kind

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

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

Comparative Evaluation of Maximum Bite Force in Dentulous and Edentulous Individuals with Different Facial Forms [PDF]
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mean maximum bite force in dentulous and edentulous individuals with Angle’s class-I occlusion and to assess the effect of different facial forms such as Square, Square-tapering, tapering and ...

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