Maximum bite force after the replacement of complete dentures

Gerodontology, 2001
In complete denture wearers the maximum bite force (MBF) is known to be considerably lower than in dentate people. Low MBF might therefore be an indication of poor denture fit but there is limited evidence on this. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether MBF can be improved by the replacement of complete dentures for elderly ...

Changes in maximum bite force related to extension of the head

The European Journal of Orthodontics, 1990
The maximum bite force and position of the hyoid bone during natural and extended head posture were studied in 15 adults. All participants had normal occlusions and full dentitions. In addition, there were no signs or symptoms of craniomandibular disorders. The bite force was measured with a bite force sensor placed between the first molars.

Effect of Implants on Maximum Bite Force in Edentulous Patients

Journal of Oral Implantology, 2009
Abstract One of the main goals of prosthetic dentistry is to reconstruct the masticatory system. Replacing missing teeth by complete or partial denture is associated with decreased bite force and patient satisfaction. The aim of the present study was to measure the maximum bite force (MBF) and to evaluate patients' satisfaction from their ...

Development of a bite force transducer for measuring maximum voluntary bite forces between individual opposing tooth surfaces

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2020
Bite forces are studied in order to understand a wide range of factors pertaining to the mastication system. Various strain gauge transducers have been employed to measure bite forces, with several descriptions of these available in the literature; unfortunately, many reports provide insufficient detail to enable accurate reproduction.

Reliability of maximum bite force measurements in age‐varying populations

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2009
Summary  In order for bite forces to be used clinically, they must be reliable. While bite force transducers are accurate and precise during bench tests, widely varying reliabilities of intra‐oral bite forces have been reported when measured in human subjects.

The Effects of Dental Condition on Hand Strength and Maximum Bite Force

CRANIO®, 1993
Piezoelectric force transducer and hand dynamometer were used for measuring the maximum bite force and hand grasp force on 2034 primary, middle, and high school students. Dental condition and body weight and height were also observed to relate to the force measurements.

Influence of maximum bite force on jaw movement during gummy jelly mastication

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2014
SummaryIt is known that maximum bite force has various influences on chewing function; however, there have not been studies in which the relationships between maximum bite force and masticatory jaw movement have been clarified. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of maximum bite force on masticatory jaw movement in subjects with normal ...

Correlation between maximum bite force and craniofacial morphology of young adults in Indonesia [PDF]

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2003
summary  The present study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between maximum bite force and craniofacial morphology. Sixty‐four Indonesian female dental students aged 19–27 years with normal occlusion served as the subjects. The Dental Prescale System® was used to measure the maximum bite force using a pressure sensitive sheets while ...

Mandibular excursions and maximum bite forces in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1996
This study evaluated mandibular motion and bite force in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders after joint surgery.Maximum voluntary mandibular motion, maximum excursion during mastication, and maximum bite force were examined in 25 female patients before temporomandibular joint surgery.

Morphologic and biomechanical correlates with maximum bite forces in orthognathic surgery patients

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2000
The purpose of this study was to determine which factors of craniofacial morphology best predict maximum bite forces and jaw muscle strength (based on [electromyogram] EMG/force slopes) in patients selected for various orthognathic surgical procedures. These factors were then compared for their ability to separate orthognathic surgery patients by their
