Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Biomechanics
  • Dental Research

Background:

  • Mandibular fractures significantly impact masticatory function.
  • Assessing bite force is crucial for evaluating treatment outcomes.
  • Limited data exists on bite force recovery in the Indian population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish baseline maximum bite force in healthy Indian individuals.
  • To evaluate changes in maximum bite force following open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures.
  • To determine the recovery rate of maximum bite force up to six weeks post-operatively.

Main Methods:

  • Maximum bite force measurements were taken in molar and incisor regions.
  • Data was collected from healthy individuals and patients undergoing surgical fracture repair.
  • Follow-up measurements were conducted for up to six weeks after surgery.

Main Results:

  • Baseline bite force values were established for the study population.
  • Post-operative bite force was assessed at various intervals.
  • The rate of bite force recovery was analyzed over the six-week period.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides normative bite force data for an Indian population.
  • Surgical fixation of mandibular fractures influences maximum bite force.
  • Understanding recovery dynamics aids in patient rehabilitation and functional restoration.
