Prospective evaluation of occlusion time and force distribution in implant-supported fixed prostheses using the T-scan [PDF]
Frontiers in Dental MedicineBackgroundOsseointegrated implants lack a periodontal ligament, resulting in altered occlusal force distribution and reduced proprioception. Implant-Protected Occlusion (IPO) has been advocated to minimize mechanical stress through optimized load ...

The effects of salivas on occlusal forces [PDF]
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2014 SummaryContacting surfaces of opposing teeth produce friction that, when altered, changes the contact force direction and/or magnitude. As friction can be influenced by several factors, including lubrication and the contacting materials, the aim of this study was to measure the occlusal load alterations experienced by teeth with the introduction of ...

Usefulness and Validity of a Jaw-Closing Force Meter in Older Adults
Geriatrics, 2022 We prototyped a new device with a soft and flexible pressure sensor to measure the force to close the mandible with or without occlusal support (jaw-closing force, JCF). This study aimed to clarify the practicality of this instrument.

Force-adjustable parallel-occlusion grasper
International Journal of Surgery, 2023 Background: During laparoscopic surgery, the operating surgeon grasps sections of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), including delicate structures, with long (270 mm) 5 mm diameter graspers. These grasping instruments increase the risk of iatrogenic damage due to crushing of the grasped tissue.
