TLDR
A positive correlation was found between the maximal bite force in the incisor region and the ratio of upper to lower facial height; this is, subjects with a high bite force had a relatively short lower anterior height.Abstract:
The aims of this investigation were to study the relation between facial morphology and bite force at different ages during growth and to investigate possible relations between bite force and the variables age, finger force, stature, and sex in growing healthy individuals. One hundred and thirty-six individuals were included, consisting of six groups of males and females, 7-9, 10-12, and 20-24 years old. Standardized photographs were taken to determine the facial type. The occlusal relationship, body height, finger force, maximal bite force, and bite force endurance amplitude were recorded. All bite force variables and finger force increased with age in both sexes. A positive correlation was found between the maximal bite force in the incisor region and the ratio of upper to lower facial height; this is, subjects with a high bite force had a relatively short lower anterior height. The maximal bite force for molars and endurance amplitude were positively correlated to stature and finger force but not to facial characteristics. A longitudinal study to follow each individual child during growth would be of interest to evaluate the importance of muscular influence on facial growth.read more

Contribution of Jaw Muscle Size and Craniofacial Morphology to Human Bite Force Magnitude
TL;DR: The contribution of the masseter muscle to the variation in bite force magnitude was higher than that of the craniofacial factors and jaw muscle thicknesses, and fifty-eight percent of the bite force variance could be explained.

The variability of bite force measurement between sessions, in different positions within the dental arch.
TL;DR: The effect of measuring bite force with different patterns of transducer on different occasions was studied and the maximum bite force showed least variability when measured between the posterior teeth on one side only.

Zirconia as a dental implant abutment material: a systematic review.
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a systematic review of the published data concerning zirconia dental implant abutments from various aspects. But they focused on the anterior region from both biologic and mechanical points of view.

TL;DR: Whether stabilization of maximum voluntary bite force occurs between 15 and 18 years of age in subjects with a normal occlusion, and to assess the influence of gender, body mass index (BMI), morphological occlusions, and jaw function measured by the number of occlusal contacts, overjet, overbite, maximal mouth opening, mandibular deflection during opening.

Masseter muscle thickness in growing individuals and its relation to facial morphology
TL;DR: Variation in muscle size and facial dimensions mainly coincided with variation in age, stature and weight, and showed a significantly negative relation with anterior facial height and mandibular length, and a significantly positive relation with intergonial width and bizygomatic facial width.

Bite force and state of dentition
TL;DR: The maximal bite force and the strength of the finger-thumb grip of 125 Skolt Lapps, aged 15 to 65, was measured with a specially devised apparatus and the bite force decreased with increasing age, especially for the females.

Isometric bite force and its relation to dimensions of the facial skeleton.
TL;DR: The relationships between the variations in bite force and dimensions of the facial skeleton were studied by means of linear simple and multiple regression analyses and there was a high correlation between incisor and molar bite force.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the form of the face partly depends on the strength of the muscles is supported, with the strong men having an anterior inclination of the mandible and a greater posterior face height.
