dc.description<p>Objective: To compare maximum incisor (MBFinc) and molar (MBFmol) bite forces regarding the type of dentition and sex and to establish a relationship between them. Methods: One hundred-five individuals were divided into 3 groups: G1–22 females/13 males (4–5 years); G2–15 females/20 males (11–12 years); and G3–16 females/19 males (17– 18 years). The maximum bite force was recorded with an extraoral measuring device. Three measurements were recorded: right and left molar level (MBFmol) and incisor level (MBFinc). The ratio %MBFinc/MBFmol was determined. Results: MBFmol and MBFinc values increased with age (p &lt; 0.05). MBFmol showed statistically higher values than MBFinc (p &lt; 0.05), when compared within the same group. Conclusion: MBFinc and MBFmol increased with age. For all groups, MBFmol showed higher values than MBFinc, and %MBFinc/MBFmol ratio was 1:2. No differences were found in maximum bite force between sexes.</p>eng
