K8. A novel sensor and a proposed setup for remote measurement of mandibular implant stress

Abstract

Intraoral pressure sensing and measurement have several applications for dental, maxillofacial surgery, odontology, and especially for the diagnosis and monitoring of dental and occlusal pathologies. Despite the numbers of techniques being developed to measure the biting force, a practical economical method is still not available to measure Mandibular Implant Stress. The present paper basically introduces novel sensor structure that used in conjunction with an RF module measurement of the mandibular implant stress. The proposed system helps dentists to study and analyse the mandibular implant stress remotely without exposure the dentists to radiation, and reduces the number of patient's exposure to radiation in the same time, avoiding the alteration of the patient's bite. The privileges of the proposed system are numerous, regarding the economic aspects, usage, safety, and reduction of the operation time.
