本研究的目的是确定的稳态误差的口腔为基础的温度传感器，这是嵌入在护齿套，使用一个强大的评估过程。将四块带有温度传感器的电子板封装在由乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯（伊娃）制成的护齿器中。在三种不同条件（34、38.5和43 °C）下，使用恒温水浴确定误差和达到稳态温度的时间。随后，一个志愿者佩戴仪器护齿套的案例研究。水浴测试表明，在所有测试条件下，最长690 s后达到0.2 °C的平均绝对误差。该案例研究在1110 s后产生的绝对误差为0.2 °C。这些结果表明，具有温度感测能力的仪器化护齿套可以产生在一定温度范围内接近临床要求的一致的稳态误差。然而，需要考虑达到稳态温度所需的时间，以便这些系统正确解释结果。
This study aimed to determine the steady-state errors of oral-based temperature sensors, that are embedded in mouthguards, using a robust assessment process. Four electronic boards with temperature sensors were encapsulated in mouthguards made from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). The error and time to reach steady-state temperature were determined using a thermostatic water bath during three different conditions (34, 38.5 and 43 °C). Subsequently, a case study of one volunteer wearing the instrumented mouthguard is presented. The water bath tests showed that a mean absolute error of 0.2 °C was reached after a maximum of 690 s across all test conditions. The case study yielded an absolute error was 0.2 °C after 1110 s. These results show that an instrumented mouthguard with temperature sensing capabilities can yield a consistent steady-state error that is close to the clinical requirements across a range of temperatures. However, the time it takes to reach steady-state temperature needs to be considered for these systems to correctly interpret the outcomes.
