The force magnitude of a human bite measured at the molar intercuspidation using fiber Bragg gratings

Abstract This study describes a localized method – using optical fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) – to determine the human bite force at the very moment of occlusion, in maximum intercuspidation. The FBG was encapsulated in a silicone splint between uppers and lowers first molars and avoiding pre-contact...
