dc.description.abstractIncisive force in a sample of 76 adult white males was tested for correlation with grip strength, height, and weight. A cantilever beam intraoral force transducer connected to a Techni-Rite Recorder with an SST Conditioner recorded the incisive forces. Grip strength was measured by the Collins Grip Test Dynamometer #70113-060. Correlation coefficients "r" and a stepwise regression analysis revealed that the independent variables were not of predictive value in determining incisive force for this sample. Height and weight were significant at the .01 level, and grip strength and weight were significant at the .05 level. The author believes that incisive force cannot be predicted by general body development characteristics, and that the limiting parameter of obtaining maximum biting force levels is the subject's emotional state of fear of pain and injury.
