Abstrakt:	Introduction: It is critical to measure the maximum voluntary bite force of patients receiving restorative dentistry. A new device known as "BYTE" has been developed indigenously to measure bite force in humans. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the BYTE device's consistency and accuracy in a lab setting. Methodology: Testing and calibration were done in the laboratory. The calibration machine with load cell pressed the biting part of the device with various forces from 3 N to 444 N in 3 N increments for two to three seconds each. The recorded force value in Newton by the device was noted down. Results: At numerous standard loads, the minimum accuracy error is 0.333 N, while the maximum is 1.667 N. It marginally underestimates the load with an average accuracy error of 0.833 N. Conclusion: The calibration report showed that the BYTE device is precise and reliable and can be used to measure maximum bite force. Competing Interests: A patent has been granted by the Government of India (patent number 489519). (Copyright © 2024, Ranjan et al.)
