In the last decades, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have become increasingly attractive to
medical applications due to their unique properties such as small size, biocompatibility …

In full-arch rehabilitation with implant-supported fixed prostheses, using monolithic zirconia
seems to have several advantages regarding function and esthetics. However, the current …

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 …

Abstract Polymer or Plastic Optical Fiber sensors (POFs) and Fiber Bragg Grating sensors
(FBGs) have gained increasing popularity in biomedical engineering (BME) applications …

Dental implants are placed endosseously, and the bone is the ultimate bearer of the
occlusal load. Patients are not uniform in the maximum bite force they can generate. The …

Clear dental aligners are commonly manufactured using thermoplastic materials such as
Duran and Durasoft. Using conventional thermoforming methods there are inherent …

Bite force is generated by the interaction of the masticatory muscles, the mandibles and
maxillae, the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), and the teeth. Several methods to measure …

Objectives To assess the impact of implantoplasty (IP) on maximum implant failure strength
of narrow diameter implants of different type/design and material, with simulated advanced …

Objectives Occlusal loading during clenching and biting is achieved by the action of the
masticatory system, and forms the basis for the evaluation of the functional performance of …

Bite force measurements are crucial in the realm of biomedical research, particularly in the
areas of dentistry and orthodontic care. Various intraoral devices have been used to assess …
