To determine reference patterns of right (RMBF) and left (LMBF) maximum molar bite force of individuals with Down syndrome over the years and to compare them with individuals without Down syndrome. 100 individuals with Down syndrome were divided into age groups: 8-12 years (DSGI, n = 28), 13-20 years (DSGII, n = 30), 21-40 years (DSGIII, n = 29) and 41-60 years (DSGIV, n = 13). The Down syndrome age groups were matched subject to subject with their respective controls without Down syndrome (CGI, CGII, CGIII and CGIV). The RMBF and LMBF records were captured by digital dynamometer.
