Bite force is an important aspect of masticatory system. Bite force assesses masticatory muscle function under clinical and experimental conditions. Measurement of maximum voluntary bite force (MVBF) in 100 individuals including males and females has been used for understanding masticatory mechanism, to evaluate the physiological characteristics of jaw muscles and study the effect of different physiological and morphological factors. The subject related factors includes- age, gender, periodontal support, height, weight, craniofacial morphology, malocclusion, temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain. Therefore, bite force is used as a variable for evaluating masticatory function.
