Figure 2. Bite force during maximum bilateral clenching for the 5 different measurements. Values of the bite force of left and right sides were summed. Bite force decreased from old to new dentures without attachments (p = 0.05). Bite force increased when attachments were incorporated into the new denture (p < 0.001). Bite force with a magnet attachment was significantly lower than with the ball attachment (p = 0.03). One-way ANOVA and post hoc tests were applied to test differences (n = 18).
