Bite force measuring devices that are generally suitable for edentulous patients or patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction are missing. This study assesses the validity of a new bite force measuring device (prototype of loadpad®, novel GmbH) and ...

Ontogenetic changes in bite force and gape in tufted capuchins.
Bite force and gape are two important performance metrics of the feeding system, and these metrics are inversely related for a given muscle size because of fundamental constraints in sarcomere length-tension relationships. How these competing performance

The aims of the current study were as following: (1) to evaluate the maximal bite forces in patients with dental implants versus patients without dental implants, as measured by a digital bite force transducer (GM10); (2) to evaluate the influences of ...

Bite Force and Influential Factors on Bite Force Measurements: A Literature Review [PDF]
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 ...

Until now, no study has investigated the effects of masticatory muscle training on chewing function in people with dementia. This study aimed to investigate whether physiotherapeutic exercises for the masticatory muscles have an influence on chewing ...

Capacitive-Type Pressure-Mapping Sensor for Measuring Bite Force
Bite force is an important indicator of masticatory performance. However, existing methods for measuring bite force are either ineffective or expensive.

Bite Force, Occlusal Contact and Pain in Orthodontic Patients during Fixed-Appliance Treatment
Previously, bite force, occlusal contact and pain were investigated in orthodontic patients with moderate-to-severe malocclusion, but not in patients with minor malocclusion.

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 ...

Handgrip force and bite force in dentulous and edentulous individuals
AbstractBackgroundThe literature is unclear about bite force (BF) and handgrip force (HF) in a specific group of different ages and dentate conditions, or even a predictive model for each specific group, using BF and HF as factors.ObjectiveTo establish the correlation between HF and BF in female participants with distinct ages and dentate conditions ...
