The relationship between facial skeleton morphology and bite force in people with a normal relation of the bases of jaws and skull

Abstract

(Folia Morphol 2015; 74, 4: 508-512)

Experimental and numerical investigations of fracture and fatigue behaviour of implant-supported bars with distal extension made of three different materials

“…For each model (Ti, CoCr, PEKK), four different loading scenarios were simulated ( Figure 6): (1) Scenario 1: Axial bilateral loading on the overdenture in the first molar region. The applied loads were 50 and 300 N [20] in the canine and the first molar regions, respectively.…”

A possible association between medial depression of mandibular ramus and maximum bite force

“…Using a similar method, Szymańska and Sidoro wicz [16,21] evaluated the relationship between bite force and facial skeleton morphology. They found a significant relationship between bite force and the posterior height of the maxilla alveolar process.…”

“…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]. Malocclusions are commonly associated with reduced maximum bite force.…”

The relationship between selected parameters of a cephalometric analysis determining the vertical morphology of facial skeleton and bite force

“…A detailed description of the criteria for patient selection, the method of bite force measurement and cephalometric analysis is included in the previous paper [18].…”

“…The characteristics of the analysed parameters in people with a normal relation of the bases of jaws and skull, who are the controls in the present study, as well as the significant relationship between the elements of cephalometric analysis and bite force in this group were presented in the authors' previous paper [18].…”
