“…A similar correlation is not found in the control group. The increase in age in the test-group patients by 1 year, results in an increase of the maximum bite force on the left side on average by 19.6 N, and on the right side on average by 24 N. In the case of the average masticatory forces on the left side such increase is 17.3 N, and on the right side -20.5 N. Usui et al [18] showed in their work the increase in the value of masticatory forces with age. According to Bakke [2], bite force increases with age to about 12 years of age, then maintains at a similar level to 40-50 years of age, and then decreases.…”

“…It has been suggested that bite force reflected the geometry of the lever system of the mandible (27). Greater mechanical advantage and relatively stronger bite forces are associated with more anteriorly inclined mandible, smaller anterior facial heights, greater posterior face height as well as a smaller gonial angle (16,24,26,28). In accordance with these results, in the present study, the healthy individuals showed negative correlation between bite force and anterior total face height, lower anterior face height, gonial angle and mandibular plane angle.…”

Objectives: Acromegaly is a metabolic disorder caused by increased growth hormone secretion. As a consequence of acromegaly some typical craniofacial morphology changes appear. This pilot study was conducted to compare the bite force and the characteristic size and shape of the craniofacial components of acromegalic patients with the healthy Turkish individuals. In additon, the correlations between bite force and craniofacial morphology of patients with acromegaly and control individuals were evaluated. Study Design: The maximum bite force of the participants was recorded with strain-gage transducer. Lateral x-ray scans were made under standard conditions, in centric occlusion. On cephalograms, the linear and angular measurements was performed. Results: Patients with acromegaly showed increased anterior and posterior total face height, ramus length, width of frontal sinuse, gonial angle and a negative difference between maxillary and mandibular protrusions. In addition, females with acromegaly showed larger lower anterior face height and sella turcica, decreased facial angle, increased mandibular plane angle. The cephalometric measurements, except one did not showed correlation with the bite force in acromegalic patients. In control group, significant correlations were observed between anterior total face height and anterior lower face height, mandibular plane angle and gonial angle. Conclusions: The greater changes were observed in the mandible. The maximum bite force of patients with acromegaly showed no difference from healthy individuals. The non-significant difference of bite force between healthy participants and acromegalic patients provide important information for dental treatment and prosthetic rehabilitation of acromegalic patients. Key words:Acromegaly, bite force, cephalometric analysis, mandibular prognathism.

“…Usui et al (16) studied the correlation between maximum bite force and mandibular plane angle in most age groups and noted an important relationship between the maximum bite force of various skeletal types and face shape, which was not considered in the present study. Future studies should thus include a larger sample and different face shapes, to ensure more precise results.…”

This study compared bite force in adults older than 60 years with that of young adults. The participants were 20 healthy adults (9 men) older than 60 years (median age, 66 years) and 44 healthy young adults (22 men; age range, 18-25 years; median age, 22 years) at the International Medical University, Malaysia. All participants had at least 20 teeth, and bite force was measured and evaluated using the Dental Prescale system. Average (SD) bite force was 420.5 (242.0) N for the older adults and 541.4 (296.3) N for the young adults. Although mean bite force was higher for the young adults, the difference was not significant. These findings suggest that bite force is unaffected by age in adults with adequate dentition.
