The relationship between bite force and torus palatinus or mandibularis remains to be explained. The major aim of this study was to determine the correlation between bite force and oral tori.
The bite force of 345 patients was measured with a bite force recorder; impressions of the shape and size of the oral tori were taken on plaster models prior to orthodontic treatments. Subsequently, the relationship between oral tori and bite force was analyzed.
The size, shape, and incidence of torus palatinus was not significantly correlated with bite force. However, the size of torus mandibularis increased significantly in proportion to the bite force ( = 0.020). The occurrence of different types of oral tori was not correlated with the bite force.
The size of torus mandibularis provides information about bite force and can thus be used to clinically assess occlusal stress.
咬合力与腭隆突或下颌隆突之间的关系尚待阐明。本研究的主要目的是确定咬合力与口腔隆突之间的相关性。
使用咬合力记录仪测量345例患者的咬合力;在正畸治疗前,在石膏模型上获取口腔隆突形状和大小的印模。随后,分析口腔隆突与咬合力之间的关系。
腭隆突的大小、形状和发生率与咬合力无显著相关性。然而,下颌隆突的大小与咬合力成比例显著增加(P = 0.020)。不同类型口腔隆突的发生与咬合力无关。
下颌隆突的大小提供了有关咬合力的信息,因此可用于临床评估咬合应力。
