| dc.description.abstract | Currently, dental diseases are quite common in all ages around the world, conditions
such as malocclusion, tooth loss, temporomandibular diseases, or jaw injuries. When
one or more teeth are missing, the remaining teeth may move to fill the space, resulting
in an affected bite. Temporomandibular joint disease can affect jaw position and bite,
leading to uneven bite force. Trauma to the jaw or face can change the position of the
jaw and bite, leading to a misaligned bite. Bite force can provide useful data to evaluate
jaw muscle function and activity. It is an important factor in many aspects of oral health,
including chewing, speaking, and swallowing. Teeth bite force can also be influenced
by several factors, including age, gender, diet, and overall health. The proposed study
designed a device that can measure the intensity of biting force of teeth based on some
flexible pressure sensors called TEETH BITING FORCE TESTER. This device
includes components ESP32-S2, ESP32, DF9-40@5Kg sensor, Lithium Polymer
Battery, and a few other components. The device was used on 15 different cases to
compare and show differences in cases with tooth or bite abnormalities. The device is
used by both men and women with ages ranging from 8 to 45 years old. The results will
be displayed on the OLED screen and through the phone app, allowing users to visually
observe the results. The reliability of the results obtained can be up to 80-85% compared
to devices currently on the market. | en_US |
