Abstract

Abstract: Occlusal load, contact sequence and location are necessary parameters for the study of dental biomechanics, simulation, and clinical treatment planning. There is a huge demand for dental implants, which could accurately and precisely become a substitute to natural teeth, in human beings. To select the most appropriate material for implants as well as designing an artificial tooth, it is important to understand the force exerted by the human jaw while in the process of mastication. To achieve this, there are multiple attempts as well as iterations done through various steps and circuit arrangements, primarily through piezoelectric sensors here. This happens to be the one of the most appropriate ways to measure and quantify the bite force of a tooth. After iterating with charge amplifiers, piezo capacitive and piezo resistive circuit arrangements, moving ahead with the FlexiForce measurement kit and using the A201 sensor which provided with the stable and consistent output for static as well as dynamic loading.
