Periodontal Clinical Parameters as a Predictor of Bite Force: A Cross-Sectional Study

CONCLUSION: Among all periodontal clinical parameters, the percentage of remaining alveolar bone is the strong predictor of bite force and mobility; attachment loss and gingival recession cannot predict the bite force in the first molar region. Bite force is variable in different stages of periodontitis.PMID:34046498 | PMC:PMC8128538 | DOI:10.1155/2021/5582946
