Tooth Loss and Biting Force in Man

H. F. ATKINSON 1 and W. J. RALPH 1

1 Department of Dental Prosthetics, School of Dental Science, University of Melbourne, Melbourne 3000, Australia

Changes in the biting force of a group of patients who underwent immediate denture treatment are reported for a period of four years. Force increased with time and was independent of dental state. After two years the average biting force approached that recorded for dentate individuals. The periodontal membrane does not appear to play an essential part in force production during mastication.
