Abstract:
This study was conducted to clarify the usefulness of a newly developed occlusal force device. An arbitrary load was applied to the device 100 times, and the measured values were recorded. The loading and measured values were extremely close, and the error rate was fairly small. There was a close relationship between the occlusal force measured with a device based on the dental prescale and that measured using the new device. These results suggest that the newly developed device can measure and evaluate occlusal force with a degree of accuracy equivalent to the dental prescale.
