| dc.description.abstract | Dental diseases are among the most common health issues, with the most
popular conditions being gum disease, bite misalignment, and temporomandibular joint
disorder. Current methods for diagnosing uneven bite force often introduce limitations
in accuracy, detail, and patient experience. Subjective techniques relying on visual
interpretation can lack precision, while a focus on static measurements can miss the
nuances of dynamic forces involved in chewing and other functions. Furthermore, some
procedures may involve bulky equipment, causing patient discomfort and potentially
hindering a natural bite assessment. A device called "Teeth Biting Force" was created,
consisting of two main parts: sensors and an OLED display. The Teeth Biting Force
tester addresses these shortcomings by utilizing precise sensors to objectively measure
and visualize bite pressure distribution on individual teeth. This approach promises to
enhance diagnostic accuracy, offer granular insights into a patient's bite, and streamline
the overall assessment experience. The device has been tested on different patients and
has shown the expected results. This project's end goals are to investigate perspectives
about users' needs and potential dentists' satisfaction and evaluate to build an
appropriate business model and marketing strategy, then modify the product to match
their preferences. Such device will be affordable, accurate, widely available, and userfriendly. Market research and analysis informed pricing strategies, distribution
channels, and promotional efforts to maximize market penetration and revenue
generation. This case study highlights the importance of integrating design, validation,
and strategic planning to bring innovative dental technologies from concept to
commercial success. | en_US |
