在这项工作中，我们报告了一种利用光纤布拉格光栅传感器来表征咬合夹板的方法。咬合夹板用于治疗因功能旁习惯和/或咬合改变引起的肌肉疼痛。格栅被插入到咬合夹板中，以测量施加到夹板上的力。这些分析是在一名磨牙症志愿者身上进行的，以获得对所施加的载荷的敏感性。对咬合夹板的受力分布进行了活体分析，结果表明，该方法是研究咬合夹板的一种强有力的工具。
In this work we report the development of a method to characterize occlusal splints using fiber Bragg grating sensors. The occlusal splints are used to treatment for muscle pain resulting from parafunctional habit and or occlusal alterations. The gratings are inserted in to the occlusal splints in order to measure the forces applied to the splints. The analyses are performed in a volunteer with bruxism, in order to obtain the sensibility to the applied load. The analyses of the force distribution in the splint are realized in vivo and the results indicate that the proposed method is a powerful tool for the characterization of occlusal splints.
