Abstract: Measuring isometric bite forces has until now been an impracticable endeavor in clinical practice, since there is no device which is easy to use. Commercially available reusable force sensors were the starting point of the idea to develop a simple device to hold and position these thin-film force sensors while simultaneously protecting them from destructive biting strains. For this reason I developed a bite fork, preferably made of plastic, which can serve as a carrier for these special sensors, and which aid placement on the occlusal surfaces in a repeatable position, without resulting in significant alteration from the habitual bite position.
