“…When analyzing the MBF results, we found that men showed higher MBF compared to women, regardless of the side, and these findings are in agreement with studies by Bonakdarchian, Askari and Askari [7], Palinkas et al [8], Koç, Dogan and Bek [9], de Abreu et al [10], Takaki, Vieira and Bommarito [11], and Roldán et al [12].…”

“…In the study by Choi et al [19], the authors did not describe different MBF values between the sides, nor specified if the cross bites were unilateral, bilateral, or both. In their results, despite the evidence showing difference in MBF between men and women [7][8][9][10][11][12] similar to our study, the total means involving both sexes in each group were considered. The crossbite group had MBF of 475 N, similar to the value observed in our study, i.e., 447.6 N, when considering both the sexes.…”

“…Males have thicker masseter muscle and stronger occlusal force than females [34, 35], and subjects with strong occlusal force presented with a brachyfacial pattern [36, 37], as observed in our male subjects. Therefore, differences in the tested measurements between sexes observed in this study may be caused by the discrepancy in occlusal force generated by the masseter muscle.…”

Association between skeletal morphology and agenesis of all four third molars in Japanese orthodontic patients

The purpose of this study was to clarify differences in skeletal morphologies between male and female orthodontic patients with and without agenesis of all four third molars. A total of 64 patients (32 males and 32 females) with agenesis of all four third molars without agenesis of other teeth were selected as the third molars agenesis group (group 1). In addition, 64 patients (32 males and 32 females) with all these teeth were selected as controls (group 2). Lateral cephalograms taken between the ages of 14 and 30 years were used to compare skeletal morphology between groups 1 and 2 and between sexes. Maxillary length (P < 0.001), lower facial height (P < 0.05), gonial angle (P < 0.001) and mandibular plane angle (P < 0.001) were significantly smaller in group 1 than in group 2. Irrespective of the presence or absence of all four third molars, males had significantly smaller lower facial height (P < 0.01) and mandibular plane angle (P < 0.001) and significantly greater total mandibular length (P < 0.001), mandibular body length (P < 0.001) and mandibular ramus height (P < 0.001) than females. Japanese orthodontic patients with agenesis of all four third molars had significantly small maxillary length, lower facial height, gonial angle and mandibular plane angle.

“…Our study patients experienced raising of the bite (known to be 1‐2 mm) due to the HT. This potentially affected the clenching activity of muscles of mastication, generally known to be sensitive to changes in occlusion . Although occlusal changes caused by orthodontic treatment have been known to influence sEMG readings and permanently change them (as long as the occlusion remained altered), our sEMG clench readings were temporarily affected, which appeared to correspond to the time frame of the occlusion recovery seen in PMCs, whether conventional or by the HT.…”

Background Hall technique crowns (HTCs) alter the occlusion temporarily, potentially affecting jaw muscles, particularly the masseter – the primary jaw‐closing muscle. Aim To assess masseter muscle activity (MMA) in children treated with a unilateral HTC. Design In 12 children treated with a single HTC, bilateral MMA was recorded with surface electromyography (sEMG) for ten cycles of Rest Position (RP) and Maximum Voluntary Clenching (MVC) over 20 seconds immediately pre‐HTC cementation (Pbase), immediately post‐HTC cementation (Pimmed), at 2 weeks post‐HTC cementation (P2w) and at 6 weeks post‐HTC cementation (P6w). t test, ANOVA and post hoc statistics were used (P < .05). Results As expected, MMA was low at rest and increased during maximal jaw clenching (P < .0001). MMA (mean ± SD) increased significantly (P < .001) between RP and MVC at: Pbase [from 1.60 μV·s (±0.96) to 5.40(±2.30)]; Pimmed [1.57(±1.15) to 3.75(±1.87)]; P2w [1.39(±0.54) to 5.54(±1.45)] and finally P6w [1.46(±0.56) to 6.45(±2.56)]. Rest MMA at Pbase, Pimmed, P2w and P6w remained unchanged (P = .18) whereas Pbase clench MMA reduced by a third at Pimmed (P < .001), returned to and exceeded baseline levels at P2w (P = .822) and P6w (P < .001), respectively. Conclusions This pilot study showed that Hall technique crowns may affect masseter muscle activity in children. Clench MMA was reduced immediately post‐treatment but returned to and later exceeded baseline levels at 2 and 6 weeks, respectively. Rest MMA remained unchanged.

Are maximum bite forces of subjects 7 to 17 years of age related to malocclusion?

Abstract: Malocclusion has a detrimental effect on bite force. Changes in maximum bite force are also due to age, sex, and repeated testing.
