Maximal Bite Force and Its Association with Signs and Symptoms of TMD, Occlusion, and Body Mass Index in a Cohort of Young Adults

Fracture resistance of structurally compromised root filled bovine teeth restored with accessory glass fibre posts

“…In the present experiment and in agreement with other studies (Barkhordar et al. 1989, Akkayan & Gülmez 2002, Zhi‐Yue & Yu‐Xing 2003), there was no statistically significant difference amongst groups (Tables 2 and 3) and all of them would theoretically withstand functional loads of 23 to 29 kgf in the anterior region of dentate patients (Ahlberg et al. 2003).…”

Maximal bite force and its association with temporomandibular disorders

“…The association between the presence of TMD and reduced MBF is contradictory in the literature and may be dependent on the severity of the TMD in the given sample (14)(15)(16)(17). Our results agree with those of previous studies (2,18,19), where no association between TMD and bite force was observed, and neither subjective symptoms nor clinical signs of TMD correlated significantly with MBF values (14).…”

Fracture Resistance and Failure Patterns of Endodontically Treated Mandibular Molars Restored Using Resin Composite With or Without Translucent Glass Fiber Posts

“…De Boever et al (14) reported forces of between 2.4 and 7.2 kg (23.5 and 70.6 N) using transmitters in removable pontics, and concluded that functional chewing forces are variable from session to session and change with the consistency and viscosity of the food. More recently, maximum biting force on the first molar was reported as approximately 859 N (15), and elsewhere as (878 N) (16). The mean fracture load recorded in this study for the control group was 1198 N that is higher than both the maximum chewing and biting loads reported.…”
