• Both models were subjected to loads simulating maximal bites on the left upper third premolar (P 3 ) and left upper second molar (M 2 ), under the assumption that the chewing muscles were acting at peak activity levels on both sides of the cranium. (nature.com)
  • To evaluate the surface adaptation and maximal biting force of CAD-CAM milled mandibular overdenture (CAD-CAM MOD) compared to conventional compression mold mandibular overdenture (CC MOD). (hindawi.com)
  • Such foods presumably would be fractured on the molars and premolars using high bite forces (if they were instead fractured using stone tools, then microwear would not detect evidence of hard-object feeding). (nature.com)
  • When a dog bites, the force exerted can cause both puncture wounds (where the teeth pierce the skin) and lacerations (tearing of the skin). (legalmatch.com)
  • Contraction of the interpyramidal muscles creates tangential stresses that are converted to radial forces along the teeth. (biologists.com)
  • Maximum muscle stress required for a given force along the teeth depends on the ratio of external to internal lantern radii ( r o / r i ). (biologists.com)
  • ℱ , which scales the force exerted by the teeth for changes in lantern size and the number of pyramids. (biologists.com)
  • Three and six months after each overdenture was inserted, clinical performance in the form of maximum biting force was evaluated. (hindawi.com)
  • The aim of this study was to investigate the fracture resistance of two types of ceramic crowns cemented with two different cements. (thejcdp.com)
  • An in vitro study of the compressive load at fracture of Procera AllCeram crowns with varying thickness of veneer porcelain. (thejcdp.com)
  • The two models differ primarily in the allowance of radial forces within the muscle in the cylinder and their exclusion in the wedge model. (biologists.com)
  • Biting force was measured in C. rosaceus and used to calculate the muscle stress required by the mechanical models. (biologists.com)
  • Bite force measurements can help paleontologists understand the ecosystem in which dinosaurs - or any extinct animal - lived, which predators were powerful enough to eat which prey, and what other predators they competed with. (scienceblog.com)
  • First off, let me say that I understand the traumatizing experience of being bitten by man's best friend. (jacandjackau.com)
