Effect of gender, facial dimensions, body mass index and type of functional occlusion on bite force
OBJECTIVE: Some factors such as gender, age, craniofacial morphology, body structure, occlusal contact patterns may affect the maximum bite force. Thus, the purposes of this study were to determine the mean maximum bite force in individuals with normal ...

Bite force of patients with tooth pain
AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this study was twofold: (i) to measure the bite force of healthy adults and patients with tooth pain and (ii) to evaluate the influence of bite force and age on tooth pain and both genders. It is hypothesized that patients with tooth pain would have lesser bite forces as compared to healthy individuals.Material and ...

Extreme and rapid bursts of functional adaptations shape bite force in amniotes [PDF]
Adaptation is the fundamental driver of functional and biomechanical evolution. Accordingly, the states of biomechanical traits (absolute or relative trait values) have long been used as proxies for adaptations in response to direct selection.

Individual differences in perceived pinch force and bite force [PDF]
Six subjects made cross-modal matches of pinch force and bite force to an electrocutaneous stimulus. The electrocutaneous stimulus consisted of bursts of pulses, and the intensity of the stimulus was varied by changing the number of pulses per burst. All of the individual matching functions were fit well by power functions.
