“…The application of this passive approach for intraoral sensing has been already proposed and successfully implemented [38,39], in cases where the sensors is located just in the mouth and outside the tooth. However, the use of RFID passive tags to be put inside the tooth has been proposed and experimentals on animals have been performed [40] for identification purposes. Recently, the use of RFID tags also for an intraoral continuous monitoring applications, such as saliva analysis to detect the risk of hearth attack, has been proposed [41] even if not implemented yet.…”

The paper proposes a system for an early warning on the prosthesis performance, in particular in terms of micro-displacements of the implant-prostheses connection, enabling actions to prevent fatal damages to the structure. The system includes a sensor for micro-displacement to be inserted in the prosthesis volume, with embedded wireless communications capabilities. Key elements of the system are the system enabling the wireless transmission of the recorded data and the molecular and biochemical approaches to unravel possible metabolic alterations. For these two elements, the paper presents and discusses several solutions.

Translational research has recently been rediscovered as one of the basic tenants of engineering. Although many people have numerous ideas of how to accomplish this successfully, the fundamental method is to provide an innovative and creative environment. The University of Pittsburgh has been accomplishing this goal though a variety of methodologies. The contents of this paper are exemplary of what can be achieved though the interaction of students, staff, faculty and, in one example, high school teachers. While the projects completed within the groups involved in this paper have spanned other areas, the focus of this paper is on the biomedical devices, that is, towards improving and maintaining health in a variety of areas. The spirit of the translational research is discovery, invention, intellectual property protection, and the creation of value through the spinning off of companies while providing better health care and creating jobs. All but one of these projects involve wireless radio frequency energy for delivery. The remaining device can be wirelessly connected for data collection.

RFID-enabled dental prostheses can facilitate the use of relatively noninvasive procedures, and such a fixed prosthesis may provide significant additional benefits. This article describes the insertion of High frequency (13.56 MHz) RFID devices in dental fixed prostheses. A high frequency (13.56 MHz) system using sheet-type RFID-tags is inserted in the bilateral lower first molar buccal area to allow for direct identification through the cheeks without saliva contaminations. Simulations and experiments indicate that both the area occupied by the antenna and the number of coil turns influence the density of the electromagnetic field. Experimental results show that, as the tag's area increases, the tag's detecting distance is increased to more than 1 cm throughout the agarose, consisting of about 98% water to mimic the physiology of a human cheek. We also successfully download data from the tag including the prostheses design date, installing dentist identifier, and the materials used. Such a mechanism can protect patient privacy, while providing benefits for medical therapy as well as facilitating forensic identification. Further studies to minimize the antenna dimensions and improve its directional propagation are still needed for future applications.
