Success of dental implant procedure means it restore the function of the teeth just like original one such as chewing, biting, aesthetics and other oral functions. Under normal circumstances, a single freestanding tooth or implant is commonly exposed to chewing forces that are usually compressive. Biting force measurement on the implanted teeth is one of the most important tests to compare the implanted tooth with normal one because the main function performed by teeth is cutting, tearing, crumbling or grinding of food or other materials. Biting force is applied in the loading end of the specially designed transduction device through a disposable polyethylene tubing cover. The biting force values were recorded for the normal subject and the subject having dental implants in their mouth from left molar to the right molar was also compared and presented as line diagram. Data obtained from the biting force experiments with human patients show that the axial forces during biting can range from low value such as 77 N to much higher value such as 2440 N. the lateral force components are much less, e.g., less than 100 N.. From the graphical representation it was clear that the difference in average biting force for both pairs in the normal subject and the subject having dental implant is not large but it was so close that they are not really distinct from eac
