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.

Comparative evaluation of bite force in paediatric patients
Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2020 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]
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

Bite Force in Elderly with Full Natural Dentition and Different Rehabilitation Prosthesis
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 (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).
