A device for multi-teeth bite force measurement

The purpose of the study is to test a novel bite force device consisted of force sensors and a pair of full dental arch braces. Five subjects were asked to perform two tasks, 1) using novel bite force sensor device and 2) using single channel force sensor. The maximal bite forces were recorded with two similar protocols. Intraoral force recordings were successively obtained from all the subjects. ANOVA showed that the bite forces using two methods had no significant difference. It proved that the proposed bite force measuring device was able to simultaneously measure bite forces of multi-pair of teeth as well as single pair of teeth.
