Abstract:
:Bite forces are studied in order to understand a wide range of factors pertaining to the mastication system. Various strain gauge transducers have been employed to measure bite forces, with several descriptions of these available in the literature; unfortunately, many reports provide insufficient detail to enable accurate reproduction. The aim of this project was to develop a bite force transducer with the capability of measuring maximum voluntary bite forces between individual opposing tooth surfaces. Furthermore, in an attempt to address the issue of vague device descriptions in the available literature, a detailed account of the transducer development has been included. A novel strain gauge transducer was designed and built. Bite forces of forty individuals were measured to verify the capabilities and clinical application of the device.
