Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution of bite force within arches in natural dentition.
Methodology: A cohort of (number) participants with intact permanent dentition was recruited for this cross-sectional study. T-Scan technology, a dynamic occlusal analysis system, was employed to record and analyse bite force distribution during various functional tasks such as chewing and biting. The data collection process involved obtaining real-time digital recordings of occlusal contacts and pressures within the natural dentition.
Results: One-way ANOVA was performed as it was found that there is a significant difference in the values on both sides. Tukey's post hoc test for multiple pairwise comparison was performed, and it was found that there is no significant difference between the first and second premolars. There is also no significant difference between the first and second molars on both sides.
Conclusion: The first molar exhibited maximum bite force distribution. However, it is not statistically significant compared to the second molar. Molars showed more bite force distribution compared to premolars.
