Medical - Medical: Dentistry / Dental Restorations
German term or phrase: einwirkende Kräfte
"Abschätzung der einwirkenden Kräfte:

Bestehen Abrasionen/Attrittionen?
Wie sind die Essgewohnheiten des Patienten?
Welche Kraftentwicklungen zwischen den Zähnen können erwartet werden?
Sind Anzeichen für Parafunktionen und Bruxismus vorhanden?
Wie ist die Belastungsverteilung: Analyse der statischen und dynamischen Okklusion."

From a text about ceramic dental restorations. The above excerpt is referring to some of the criteria involved in choosing the right restoration for a particular situation.

I'm just a little stuck on einwirkend. Do I say acting, effective, influential or something else? Would something like active work, maybe? TIA for helping me nail down a precise translation.

biting forces
Explanation:
Although the original uses a more general wording, this is what it's actually about: an assessment of the "biting forces"

If your dentist is concerned about the **biting forces** present on the tooth requiring treatment, alternatives to composite resin - dental amalgam, cast gold alloy or dental ceramic - may be recommended.

Some types are even fabricated over a computer generated ceramic coping made from scanning a die of the crown-prepped tooth and these have unbelievable strength to withstand biting forces.

Yes, that looks like it all right! "Biting forces" fits this context very nicely. Some quite convincing references too. So well done, Johanna, and thank you very much indeed. Thanks also to the others who contributed - your suggestions are pretty good for most other contexts. Appreciate everyone's help.
