Table 4 Comparison of different realizations of capacitive bite force sensors.
| Developed capacitive bite force sensor | Application | Range of change at the output | Characteristics | Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Presented bite force sensor in this paper | Single use on the first and second premolars and first molars | 500 N | Biodegradable, Biocompatible, Fast response.Linear transfer curve over the range between 140 N and 440 N. Output of the transfer curve is capacitanceAccuracy of 4.1% and sensitivity of 3.98 pF/N | / |
| Cheng et al developed bite force sensor | Multiple use, high repeatability, whole dentition | 500 N | Biocompatible, simultaneously measures bite force from various regions of dentitionLinear transfer curve over the whole range of applied forcesOutput of the transfer curve is relative change of voltage | []18 |
| Lin et al developed bite force sensor | Multiple use, force distribution on the first molar | 590 N | Matrix type, flexible MLCC (multilayer ceramic capacitor) type, Linear transfer curve over the whole range of applied forcesOutput of the transfer curve is voltage | []19 |
