“…In this respect our results confirm the data of Brown S. et al, (1995) and do not confirm the data of Quindini P. et al, (2017). Our results confirm those of Szymanska J. et al, (2015), who report that gender has only a weak effect on the average bite force on the right, and conclude that there is a lack of clinical correlation between bite force and gender. Other studies also do not find correlation between values of the masticatory function and gender at different age groups (11,19).…”

Introduction: Chewing directly depends on the function of the masticatory muscles. Maximal bite force and surface EMG are important determinants for the masticatory function. Aim:The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between gender and age and the bite force and electromyographic activity of the masticatory muscles in young subjects. Material and Methods:The study included 110 individuals of mean age 17.08 ± 6.02 years: 43 males and 67 females. Surface EMG (s EMG) was performed on anterior temporalis and masseter muscles on the right and left side to all the 110 subjects.The bite force was assessed on 68 of them using strain-gauge transducer. The statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 23.0.Results: There was no significant difference between the maximal bite force between men and women both on the left and the right side. The bite force correlated significantly with age both on left and right. The values of the EMG potentials of the masseter muscle did not differ between male and female subjects both on left and right. As for the temporalis muscle the values on the left side in women were significantly higher than in men (P<0.05). The values of the right temporalis muscle did not differ. A significant positive correlation was found between the age and EMG activity of the left temporalis muscle (P<0.01) and of the left masseter muscle (P<0.05). On the right was not found significant correlation between EMG and age. Conclusion:Both EMG and maximal bite force showed correlation with age. The left temporal muscle in women showed higher EMG values than in men.

“…Maximum bite force is one of the most important indicators of the functional situation of the masticatory system and its value is used to diagnose disorders of the musculoskeletal system of facial skeleton [20]. Maximum bite force is affected by skeletal craniofacial morphology, depending on the posterior/ anterior facial height ratio, vertical facial relationships, mandibular inclination and gonial angle [16,21,22].…”

A bstract Background In children, stainless steel crowns (SSCs) have become an invaluable restorative option for grossly decayed primary teeth. The crowns are manufactured in different sizes with preformed anatomy which requires trimming or contouring as a necessary step to fit an individual tooth. Initially, this may produce variation in the occlusal contact points yet may not result in pain or discomfort. Little research exists regarding bite force equilibration measurements in children after placing SSC, and its influencing factors such as age and gender. Aim and objective To evaluate and compare the measurements of bite force pre- and post-cementation of SSC using the conventional technique at maximal intercuspal position (MIP) on primary molars at different time intervals and whether age and gender influence bite force measurements. Design Bite force and occlusal contacts during occlusion were made using T-Scan III. Twenty children scheduled for treatment who needed SSCs were included. T-Scan measurements of the bite force and occlusal contacts of the maxilla and mandibular teeth were recorded and analyzed before and immediately after cementation of SSC later 4 weeks during the follow-up period. These measurements were correlated with age and gender influence. Results There was no significant result in the percentage of bite force on the crowned tooth (placement of SSC) at different time intervals. Prematurities were present in all the groups but a significant reduction was seen on the crowned tooth from baseline to 1-month follow-up ( p = 0.03). Also, a statistically significant increase in the bite force was seen in >7 years of age ( p = 0.006) and no statistical significance among the gender. Conclusion Following the standard tooth preparation, the SSC will continue to appear clinically acceptable for many years. Our study children showed an adaptable masticatory system irrespective of age and gender during growth and development. How to cite this article Aishwarya N, Nagarathna C, Poovani S, et al.
