Maximum Bite Force Analysis in Different Age Groups [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction Maximum bite force (MBF) is the maximum force performed by the subject on the fragmentation of food, directly related with the mastication and determined by many factors. Objective Analyze the MBF of subjects according to age groups. Methods

Effect of gender, facial dimensions, body mass index and type of functional occlusion on bite force
Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2011 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 ...

The bite force and craniofacial morphology in patients with acromegaly: a pilot study [PDF]
, 2013 Objectives: Acromegaly is a metabolic disorder caused by increased growth hormone secretion. As a consequence of acromegaly some typical craniofacial morphology changes appear.

A method of bite force measurement in primates [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 1983 A bite force transducer consisting of two differential strain beams with four strain gages in a full bridge configuration was modified for measuring occlusal forces in rhesus monkeys. A procedure of muscle stimulation (20-50 V, 60 Hz, and 0.8 ms duration) produced maximal unilateral masticatory muscle contraction when stimulating electrodes were placed

Extreme and rapid bursts of functional adaptations shape bite force in amniotes [PDF]
, 2019 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.
