Evaluation of Tongue Force on Mandibular Incisor in Various Malocclusions
Parijat Chakraborty*, Pratik Chandra, Ragni Tandon, Aftab Azam and Ramji Rastogi
Objectives: To evaluate the tongue forces exerted on the mandibular incisors in various malocclusions and also compare it among genders. Methods: The study was conducted on 512 subjects (340 females and 172 males). The subjects were divided into three groups according to the molar relation of the subjects. Molar relation and the tongue forces exerted on the mandibular incisor of the subjects were recorded using a diagnostic kit and a Flexi force resistive sensor respectively. Tongue Force at Rest (TFR), Tongue Force during Swallowing (TFS) and Maximum Tongue Force (MTF), were measured and statistically analyzed. Results: MTF was a significantly more among males than females. A significant relationship while comparing TFR and TFS among the three groups was also found. Conclusion: TFR and TFS were found to be influential in the malocclusion of an individual and also a stronger tongue musculature among males was concluded while comparing MTF.
