Masticatory force

He determined that periodontal tissue is an important issue, which impacts the amount of force.

Morill found out that masticatory muscles stop their contraction differently upon the appearance of pain signals from the periodontal tissue.

[2] Shreder used local anaesthesia to ignore the periodontal response to measure the maximum force of mastication.

worked out that 1 cm2 surface of perpendicular slide of any masticatory muscle can produce approximately 10 kilograms-force (100 N) force.

The force generated during routine mastication of food such as carrots or meat is about 70 to 150 newtons (16 to 34 lbf).

Muscles of the head, face, and neck.
The systematization of masticatory force distribution was designed by Ali Nankali.
