A study of maximum bite force during growth and development.

Abstract

Bilateral bite force was measured in a sample of 457 subjects (231 males and 226 females) from 6 years through 20 years. The mean maximum bite force was found to increase from 78 Newtons at 6 to 8 years to 176 Newtons at 18 to 20 years. While earlier studies have shown adult males have a greater mean bite force than females, this difference is not evident during growth and development. Gender-related bite force difference likely develops during the postpubertal period in association with greater muscle mass development in males.
