Normal chewing places about 68 lbs/sq inch of pressure on the back teeth. If you intentionally clench your teeth you may increase that force toabout 150 lbs/sq inch.
However, an individual who clenches and grinds their teethsubconsciously at night can place up 1200 lbs/sq inch of force. Thatsounds like an industrial grinding machine!"

I think it's 200 pounds... at least that's what they say when you're grinding your teeth at night when you sleep.
