Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of bite force by gender and physical features. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 212 college students in Chungnam province from October to December, 2013. The questionnaire consisted of oral health condition. The bite force of the first molar teeth was measured. Results : Males showed the greater bite force than females(p<0.001). Those who had temporomandibular joint(TMJ) disorder suffered from mouth opening difficulty and weaker bite force than those who had not(p<0.05). Those who had malocclusion showed weaker bite force (p<0.01). Those who had a habit of chewing gums tended to have greater bite force than those who had not(p<0.05). The bite force was correlated with height(r=0.309), weight(r=0.345), and BMI(r=0.249)(p<0.01). Conclusions : Males showed greater bite force than females. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, subjective malocclusion, and eating habit also affected the bite force.
