The research aimed for the precise and quantitative assessment of occlusal bite force, along with the recording of electromyographic activity of muscles of mastication with a newly designed bite force recorder. An association between bite force , occlusal wear and various malocclusions has been demonstrated. Future studies of similar nature exploring association of bite force on etiology of malocclusion and its influence on orthodontic treatment are warranted.
