Hand Grasp Force during Static Teeth Clenching and Nonclenching

Relationships between the hand grasp force and occlusal pressure were investigated in young male adults during static teeth clenching and nonclenching. The hand grasp forces of left and right sides during static teeth clenching (L : 37.6±1.89 kg, R : 42.8±1.89 kg) were significantly greater than tho...

Summary:Relationships between the hand grasp force and occlusal pressure were investigated in young male adults during static teeth clenching and nonclenching. The hand grasp forces of left and right sides during static teeth clenching (L : 37.6±1.89 kg, R : 42.8±1.89 kg) were significantly greater than those during nonclenching (L : 35.7±1.16 kg, R : 40.5±1.06 kg). The findings indicated that the bite force influenced increase in hand grasp force.
