Force Monitoring in a Maxilla Model and Dentition Using Optical Fiber Bragg Gratings

Force Monitoring in a Maxilla Model and Dentition Using Optical Fiber Bragg Gratings

The aim of this work is to show the possibility of using fiber optic sensors to instrument inside parts of an artificial maxilla and measure internal tension transmitted by the orthodontic and orthopedic appliances to the dentition and the adjacent bone. Bragg gratings written in a standard optical...
