Wat is the biting force per squire inch of the molars?!


Question:

Wat is the biting force per squire inch of the molars?


Answers:

"Here's an interesting note concerning the forces that you can put on your teeth. Normal chewing places about 68 lbs/sq inch of pressure on the back teeth. If you intentionally clench your teeth you may increase that force to about 150 lbs/sq inch. However, an individual who clenches and grinds their teeth subconsciously at night can place up 1200 lbs/sq inch of force. That sounds like an industrial grinding machine!"

From the website listed below. Interesting, huh?
