Abstract

The authors conducted the tests of the artificial masticatory forces on the everyday life foods divided into six groups of the vegetables, confectionaries, meats, fish, fruits and miscellaneous foods untreated or treated according to the taking of each foods by means of the human skull and electronic strain gauge for the pressure measurement. The results were as follows; 1. The masticatory forces of each foods were different. 2. The masticatory forces of the treated foods were lower than those of the untreated foods. 3. The masticatory forces needed to masticate the everyday life foods were considerably lower than the human maximum bite force. 4. It is reasonable to think the patients wearing well constructed full dentures feel no complications about the masticatory force for the mastication of everyday life foods. 5. The masticatory forces for the confectionaries were greater and more variable than the masticatory forces for the other foods.
