ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention there is provided an easy to use mechanically operated bite force gauge for measuring the bite force at which a patient's dentures will begin to slip or dislodge within their mouth. The bite force two opposing beams each of which extends longitudinally between back and front ends. The beams are joined together by a back support column and by a bending support column. The bending support column defines, on each beam, a yielding member located between the two support columns and an extension member located between the bending support column and the front end. Thereafter, when biting forces are applied to the yielding members so that the two yielding members move towards each other, the extension members will move away from each other. The bite force gauge includes a force detector to measure the amount of force being applied to the yielding members by measuring the distance that the extension members move away from each other when the biting forces are applied.
