Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between two types of dental prescale systems. Forty healthy subjects were asked to maximally clench for about 3 s, and the maximum occlusal force before and after cleaning was calculated using an Occluzer FPD707 for dental prescale (P1) and a bite force analyzing system for dental prescale II (P2). The maximum occlusal forces measured by P1 and P2 were compared before cleaning and after cleaning. Next, the relationship between the maximum occlusal force by P1 and maximum occlusal force by P2 was investigated. In addition, comparisons were made between males and females. The maximum occlusal force after cleaning was significantly smaller than before cleaning for both P1 and P2. The reduction rate of the occlusal force was 4.1% for P1 and 25.9% for P2. Significant linearity was observed between the maximum occlusal forces of P1 and P2 (regression linear equation: y = 1.191x − 30.521, r = 0.980, p < 0.001). The maximum occlusal forces measured by P1 and P2 were both significantly larger in males than in females. It was suggested that there was a certain relationship between the maximum occlusal forces measured by dental prescale and dental prescale II, suggesting that it is possible to compare the results of both by applying corrections using a regression equation.
