Maximum occusal bite force for children in different dentition stages [PDF]
This study was carried out to record maximum occlusal bite force (MOBF) among different dentition stages in children and to study the relation of occlusal bite force to weight, height, and gender. A total of 1011 children (500 females and 511 males) aged from 3 to 18 years were examined.

Maximum voluntary molar bite force in subjects with normal occlusion [PDF]
The aims of this investigation were to determine whether stabilization of maximum voluntary bite force (MVBF) occurs between 15 and 18 years of age in subjects with a normal occlusion, and to assess the influence of gender, body mass index (BMI), morphological occlusion, and jaw function measured by the number of occlusal contacts, overjet, overbite ...

The combined effects of salivas and occlusal indicators on occlusal contact forces [PDF]
Background Some occlusal detection products are designed for use on dry teeth, but this is not always achieved. Others are suited for dry and wet applications.

Unravelling the functional biomechanics of dental features and tooth wear [PDF]
Most of the morphological features recognized in hominin teeth, particularly the topography of the occlusal surface, are generally interpreted as an evolutionary functional adaptation for mechanical food processing.

In vivo cranial bone strain and bite force in the agamid lizard Uromastyx geyri [PDF]
In vivo bone strain data are the most direct evidence of deformation and strain regimes in the vertebrate cranium during feeding and can provide important insights into skull morphology.
