Abstract

Occlusal bite forces are the most critical consideration factor in treatment planning. Measurement methods of occlusal bite forces were developed in a century, and affected factors are studied in many experiments. Gender, age, shapes of facial morphology, teeth position, periodontal states, etc., are revealed affective aspects of the occlusal bite forces. The dental clinician should make a treatment plan by considering occlusal bite forces and would predict the patient's prognosis. In clinical procedures, several specific factors that include endodontic treatment, implant treatment, and com-plete denture prosthesis cause severe results after treatments. If clinicians do not consider these factors before the treatment procedures, extraction of the tooth, implant, and dismission of the complete denture are struggled by patients. These factors (endodontic treatment, Implant, complete denture prosthesis) cause the changes of occlusal bite forces, and then consideration of these changes makes a great result of treatment. The purpose of this study was to summarize the parts that clinicians can refer to based on reviewing studies on complex factors that affect occlusal bite force.

Key Words: Occlusal bite force; endodontic treatment; dental implant; complete denture
