Biting pressure measured with pressure measuring sheet.
Biting pressure distribution and biting force measurements were performed with normal molars using pressure measuring sheets. The maximum biting pressure was supposed to be 700 approximately 800 kg/cm2. The maximum biting force of 6th and 7th teeth exceeded 100 kg. These values were larger than the previously reported values, and the reason was ascribed to thinner sheets used for the biting.
