TLDR
These measurements are difficult and the reliability of the result depends on a number of factors, such as presence of pain and temporomandibular disorders, gender, age, cranio-facial morphology, and occlusal factors.Abstract:
Maximum voluntary bite force is an indicator of the functional state of the masticatory system and the level of maximum bite force results from the combined action of the jaw elevator muscles modified by jaw biomechanics and reflex mechanisms. The measurement of bite force can provide useful data for the evaluation of jaw muscle function and activity. It is also an adjunctive value in assessing the performance of dentures. Technological advances in signal detection and processing have improved the quality of the information extracted from bite force measurements. However, these measurements are difficult and the reliability of the result depends on a number of factors, such as presence of pain and temporomandibular disorders, gender, age, cranio-facial morphology, and occlusal factors. In addition to these physiological factors, recording devices and techniques are important factors in bite force measurement. Therefore, one should be careful when comparing the bite force values reported in the research.read more

Fracture strength of monolithic all-ceramic crowns made of high translucent yttrium oxide-stabilized zirconium dioxide compared to porcelain-veneered crowns and lithium disilicate crowns
TL;DR: The fracture strength of a crown made of monolithic high translucent Y-TZP is, with a large safety margin, sufficient for clinical use for the majority of patients and shows higher fracture resistance than monolithic lithium disilicate crowns.

Effect of gender, facial dimensions, body mass index and type of functional occlusion on bite force
Duygu Koc,Arife Dogan,Bulent Bek +2 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that bite force is affected by gender, however, BMI, type of functional occlusion and the presence of balancing side interferences did not exert a meaningful influence on bite force.

TL;DR: Poor oral function, as indicated by low MBF, increases the risk of development of frailty among elderly men and women.

Bite force measurements with hard and soft bite surfaces.
C. M. Serra,Arturo Manns +1 more
TL;DR: Compared the maximum voluntary bite force measured by a digital occlusal force gauge between different opponent teeth, employing semi-hard or soft bite surfaces, revealed significant differences, with higher scores while using the soft surface across sexes and tooth groups.

Biting and Chewing in Overdentures, Full Dentures, and Natural Dentitions
F.A. Fontijn-Tekamp,A.P. Slagter,A. van der Bilt,M.A. van 't Hof,Dick J. Witter,Warner Kalk,J.A. Jansen +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that bite forces achieved with overdentures on dental implants were between those achieved with artificial and natural dentitions, and a significant correlation was found between maximum bite force and chewing efficiency.

Influence of Clenching Intensity on Bite Force Balance, Occlusal Contact Area, and Average Bite Pressure
TL;DR: The results in normal subjects suggest that as the clenching intensity increases in the intercuspal position, the bite force adjusts to a position where it is well-balanced, which may prevent damage and overload to the teeth and temporomandibular joints.

A novel bite force recorder and maximal isometric bite force values for healthy young adults
Antti Waltimo,Mauno Könönen +1 more
TL;DR: The finding that pain or lack of muscular strength most often limited the clenching suggests that the actual masticatory potential was registered, and the results for both genders remarkably exceeded the values previously reported for unilateral housings.
