What is The Correlation Between Two Occlusal Analyzers for the Measurement of Bite Force about?

## Abstract ## Background Occlusal force represents masticatory function. Using quantifiable occlusal indicators provides a more objective occlusal force evaluation. In the recent dental practice, digital methods such as the Dental Prescale II (DP2, GC Corp., Tokyo, Japan) and T-scan (T-Scan III v8; Tekscan Inc.) are commonly used in clinics to evaluate treatment outcomes. The T-scan provides the relative bite force (%) compared to the maximal bite force on individual teeth or the unilateral arch. The DP2 can quantify occlusal force, measured in newtons (N), on the half arch or the overall bite, but it is difficult to identify the bite force on an individual tooth. It is difficult to select a device that fulfils all the requirements to record occlusal force. This study aimed to investigate the association between the bite measured by the DPS2 and T-scan to determine whether the measured bite force is comparable through calculation. ## Methods A total of 80 healthy adults, including 41 women and 39 men with a mean age of 38.2, were requested to bite pressure sensitive film sheets ten minutes apart. Linear regression analysis was used to estimate the measured bite force by the DP2 an
