Dispositivos intraorales para medir la fuerza masticatoria: revisión de la literatura. Universidad Santo Tomás, 2015

Abstract

To the dentist is essential to have information from devices that measure the bite force, these devices are Gnatodinamometro, transdusctores of piezo electric strength and strain gauge transducers; These transducers are parts of the dynamometer. Through literature review is a type of secondary research met and information available and accessible articles in English language preferably assessed; thus the information about the devices that measure the bite force of which are very creation of trialists, these devices played a role in quantifying muscle strength through transducers. These devices do not have a calibration and comparison against a standard Gold ocacionados unreliability, there are also factors that influence the masticatory force as age, sex, mandibular position, muscular exhaustion, stress that influence or affect masticatory force.
