Maximum bite force in reduced periodontal support

Introduction

The study of maximal bite force in individuals with reduced periodontal support is crucial for understanding the functional limitations and potential compensatory mechanisms in such patients. This research explores how periodontal health impacts bite force and the role of dental splinting in enhancing bite force.

Key Insights

Impact of Reduced Periodontal Support on Bite Force:
- Reduced periodontal tissue support does not significantly limit maximal bite force in natural dentitions when measured with a device that opens the bite by 4 mm.
Effect of Splinting on Bite Force:
- Maximal bite force increases significantly when molar teeth are included in a posterior splint, both in patients with reduced periodontal support and in periodontally healthy subjects.
Pressure Distribution and Bite Force:
- The maximum bite force is significantly larger when the force is distributed over a full acrylic cap compared to when it is transmitted through a point on the incisal edge. This suggests that reduced pressure on the crown enhances bite force, likely due to the involvement of mechanoreceptors within the tooth pulp.

Conclusion

In summary, reduced periodontal support does not inherently limit maximal bite force in natural dentitions. However, the use of dental splints can significantly enhance bite force in both periodontally compromised and healthy individuals. Additionally, distributing bite force over a larger surface area, such as with a full acrylic cap, can further increase bite force, likely due to the reduced pressure on the tooth crown.

Maximal bite force in patients with reduced periodontal tissue support with and without splinting.

Reduced periodontal tissue support does not limit bite force in natural dentitions, and splinting of posterior teeth increases maximal biting forces.

The effect of pressure on a maximum incisal bite force in man.

The maximum bite force is significantly larger when transmitted over a full acrylic cap, due to reduced pressure on the crown, suggesting the existence of mechanoreceptors within the pulp of a tooth.

Maximum voluntary molar bite force in subjects with normal occlusion.

Maximum voluntary bite force stabilizes between 15 and 18 years of age in subjects with normal occlusion, with gender and age being key factors, and morphological occlusion, jaw function, and BMI also contributing.

The effect of maximum bite force on marginal bone loss of mini-implants supporting a mandibular overdenture: a randomized controlled trial.

Maximum bite force has no relationship with marginal bone loss around mini-implants in edentulous patients wearing overdentures with either bar or ball attachment systems.

Occlusal force pattern during chewing and biting in dentitions restored with fixed bridges of cross-arch extension. I. Bilateral end abutments.

Periodontal tissues can withstand transient occlusal forces larger than those generally operating during chewing, swallowing, and biting with maximal strength in habitual occlusion, but their magnitude is limited by feedback mechanisms in that region.

Study of the relationship between alveolar bone loss and bite force of single root teeth with periodontal disease

Alveolar bone resorption decreases the value of maximum bite force in single root teeth, leading to occlusal disharmony and functional compromise in periodontal disease patients.

Bite Force and Occlusion

Maximum bite force is a useful indicator of the functional state of the masticatory system and the loading of teeth, with occlusal tooth contacts being an important determinant for the maximally attainable force.

The influence of implant number and attachment type on maximum bite force of mandibular overdentures: a retrospective study.

Dental implants increase maximum bite force in edentulous patients, with males showing higher bite force, while patient age and attachment type do not play a significant role.

The effect of maximum bite force on marginal bone loss in mandibular overdenture treatment: an in vivo study.

Maximum bite force and the sequence of attachment types used in mandibular implant overdenture treatment do not influence marginal bone loss.

The effect of periodontal bone loss on bite force discrimination.

Periodontal bone loss significantly reduces bite force discrimination, with patients needing 334 additional grams of resistance to detect a difference compared to control subjects.
