Abstract Background: Maximum bite force is a valuable objective metric for analyzing masticatory function and assessing the long-term success of implants. The aim of this cross-sectional pilot study was to evaluate the patients with implant-supported fixed prosthesis the maximum bite force. Methods: Twenty individuals were recruited, and each was assessed using a digital bite force sensor for an implant supported posterior fixed dental prosthesis. For the maximum bite force, the researchers took records at three different occluding sites with 30 seconds rest intervals between each trial. For data analysis, the researchers used SPSS version 26.Results: Descriptive Statistics and Correlation Analyses. The mean bite force was found to be 43.57% (standard deviation 3.98) and the bite force was 37% to 49%. Sixty percent of participants showed a strength in the range of 43% to 49%. No significant differences were observed between gender (p = 0.830) and between ages (p = 0.762).Conclusion: Based on the findings of this pilot study, it can be concluded that the bite forces of patients with implant-supported fixed prosthesis are similar, irrespective of gender and age. Nonetheless, because of small sample size, larger multicenter studies are required to create normative data and clinical advice regarding bite force assessment in implant-supported restorations.
