A. YURKSTAS B.S., D.M.D.1

1 Tufts College Dental School, Boston, Mass.

The effect of added function on the maximum biting forces of individual teeth has been studied in fifty children possessing orthodontic difficulties which were currently under observation or treatment.

Under the conditions of this test, maximum biting forces were increased by an average of 21.5 per cent by added function in the form of gum chewing. The most significant effect was observed in the first molar area.
