“…Valentim et al used Flexiforce to measure the force exerted by the tongue and upper lip on the teeth of 28 subjects during rest and swallowing and found that the lips exerted more force on the upper central incisor than the tongue does at rest, while during swallowing, there was no difference between the force of the tongue and the lips on the teeth (Valentim et al, 2014). However, some scientists have shown that these sensors are not as accurate as other types of pressure sensors (Athavale et al, 2020;Nandasiri et al, 2020).…”

In dental research, bite force has become an important curative effect evaluation index for tooth restoration, periodontal treatment, and orthodontic treatment. Bite force is an important parameter to evaluate the efficacy of the masticatory system. Physicians obtain the therapeutic basis for occlusal adjustment by measuring the bite force and the dynamic changes in occlusal contact at different stages of treatment and objectively evaluate the therapeutic effect. At present, many devices are used to record the bite force. Most of these devices use force transducers to detect bite force, such as strain gauge transducers, piezoresistive transducers, piezoelectric transducers, optical fiber transducers, and pressure-sensitive films. This article summarizes the various equipment used to record bite force, related materials and the characteristics of this equipment. It provides a reference for physicians to make choices during the clinical process and at the same time provides a basis for the development of new occlusal force measurement materials.

Wireless medical devices are utilized to obtain physiological signals from the human body to an external monitoring device. The in-body antenna plays a crucial role in ensuring the transmission of physiological signals for implantable or ingestible wireless medical devices. One of the wireless medical devices that involve implantable and ingestible antennas is capsule endoscopy. The implantable one is to be implanted surgically into the human body while the ingestible one is swallowed like a multi-vitamin to perform a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic functions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. A review of both antennas and their application is presented. Besides, the design of such in-body antenna in the wireless capsule endoscopy especially in current technologies (e.g Wi-Fi, WLAN, Bluetooth, IoT) is extremely challenging and intriguing owing to it deals with the challenges related to the selection of operating frequency band, type of antenna design, and antenna miniaturization technique. Most of the antenna is facing the issue with bandwidth, transmission rate, the robustness of the communication links, size constraint, components arrangement in capsule, and others that could directly affect the patient safety and performance of capsule endoscopy in the human body. Nevertheless, the application of such implantable and ingestible antenna in wireless capsule endoscopy is incessant and rapid growth along with the evolution of technology, thus eliminating any concerns related to the aforementioned challenges and their invasive nature. In this paper, comparative reviews on the design consideration of the in-body antennas are discussed.
