Nankali's Masticatory Force Systematization

Dr. Morill worked more deeply on the relationship between masticatory muscles and pain signals from the periodontal tissue in different ways.

Dr. Weber worked out that 1 cm2 cross section surface area of any masticatory muscle can produce approximately 10 kg force.

The force generated during routine mastication like having carrots or meat is about 70-150N although in some people with specific conditions it may reach up to 500-700N.

;[5] Dr. Ali Nankali continued the masticatory force study and observed a number of mastication acts by individuals using computer.

The monitored results of this investigation illustrated constant changes in the amount of masticatory force during mastication [6] due to the characteristic and size of the mouthful.
