The effect of orthognathic surgery on occlusal force

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1989
To investigate the effect of orthognathic surgery on occlusal force, such force was measured during maximum effort, chewing, and swallowing in 70 patients who had superior repositioning of the maxilla and/or mandibular advancement or setback. Larger changes in occlusal force than could be accounted for by the altered geometry were observed in all ...

Occlusal force transmission by overdenture attachments

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1979
This investigation utilized a composite photoelastic model to examine the load-transfer characteristics of several overdenture attachments. Tissue bar (Hader and King Connector) and stud (extracoronal) attachments (Rotherman, Gerber, and Ancrofix) were studied.

The anisotropic nature of urethral occlusive forces

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1985
Summary. A newly‐developed unidirectional force gauge was used to demonstrate that the urethral occlusive forces are unequal around the circumference of the female urethra. In the proximal two‐thirds of the urethra significantly greater forces are exerted in the anterior position compared with those exerted in the lateral and posterior positions.

Influence of occlusal loading force on occlusal contacts in natural dentition

Journal of Prosthodontic Research, 2015
Proper occlusal contact is important for the long-term success of prosthodontic therapy. We clarified the effects of occlusal loading force on occlusal contact in natural dentition by comparing measured values for occlusal loading and occlusal contact area.Masseter muscle activity was measured in 10 subjects (2 male, 8 female; mean age, 27 years) with ...

Bite Force and Occlusion

Seminars in Orthodontics, 2006
Maximum bite force is a useful indicator of the functional state of the masticatory system and the loading of the teeth, and its recordings can be performed in a relatively simple way in the clinic. However, because maximum bite-force levels vary with method, sex and age, it is important that the measurements are compared against the appropriate ...

Comparison of occlusal bite force distribution in subjects with different occlusal characteristics

CRANIO®, 2020
To analyze bite force distribution in subjects with different occlusal characteristics.This prospective study included 132 candidates (50 males, 82 females) seeking orthodontic treatment, who were divided into four groups based on Angle's classification of malocclusion.

Occlusal Forces in Normal- and Long-face Adults

Journal of Dental Research, 1983
Using both quartz- and foil-based piezo-electric force transducers, occlusal forces during swallow, simulated chewing, and maximum effort were evaluated in 19 long-face and 21 normal individuals. Forces were measured at 2.5 mm and 6.0 mm molar separation.

Safe Microclip Occlusive Force for Temporary Vascular Occlusion

1980
A need for refined techniques and instrumentation is becoming more apparent with the widespread application of micro vascular procedures in neurosurgery. Commercially available micro vascular clips currently recommended for temporary small artery occlusion have been substantially improved over the miniature aneurysm clips available previously ...

Occlusal force after partial mandibular resection

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1992
Surgical resection of a segment or loss of mandibular continuity can adversely affect most of the structures essential for maximum occlusal force. Five subjects who had partial mandibular resections for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma were studied.

Occlusal Forces in Normal- and Long-face Children

Journal of Dental Research, 1983
In children aged from six to 11 yr, forces of dental occlusion during swallowing, simulated chewing, and hard biting are similar for normal- and long-face individuals. Forces in the normal- and long-face children are similar to those in long-face adults, but are about half those in normal adults.
