Validity and sensitivity of a human cranial finite element model: Implications for comparative studies of biting performance [PDF]
Finite element analysis (FEA) is a modelling technique increasingly used in anatomical studies investigating skeletal form and function. In the case of the cranium this approach has been applied to both living and fossil taxa to (for example) investigate

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 in temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and healthy complete denture wearers [PDF]
The signs and symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) may contribute to reduce bite force and muscular activity. The aims of this study were to compare bite force in complete denture wearers with TMD (TMD group) and without TMD (healthy group ...

Influence of body position on maximum bite force
Objective: To evaluate the maximum bite force (MBF) in subjects with and without Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD), in threedifferent positions (sitting, lying and standing). Methods: The sample consisted of 60 individuals, aged between 19 and 35 years,who were divided into two groups: with TMD (n = 30) and without TMD (n = 30).
