Abstract :
Definition of individual bite force (BF) has been widely used in dentistry domain. In this study, a vivo sensory setup is introduced to simulate and analyze dental implant stress, in order to check out implant quality. Two different proposed sensors are introduced. First is a simple mechanical sensor for hard BF measurements. The second is a kind of new material compound suitable for flexible tactile sensor. It had been reported that excessive occlusal forces applied to the implant prostheses. The proposed biosensors reduce the number of patient´s and dentist exposure to radiation and avoiding alteration of patient bites that may result in consequential malfunctions and side effects like bone loss, screw loosening, and mastication system failure.
