title: Bite force measurement system using pressure-sensitive sheet and silicone impression material.
abstract: This study was conducted to reduce the bias in measured values caused by the thickness of materials used in occlusal examinations. To this end, a silicone impression material for bite force measurement and an experimental model of a simplified stomatognathic system were employed in this study. By means of this experimental model, results showed that the effect of bias toward the posterior arch could be reduced in the anterior-posterior distribution of bite forces and in the occlusal contact areas due to the thickness of the materials used in occlusal examinations.
