摘要:Tooth grinding is a contentiousphenomenon. Both its definition and the diagnostic procedure contributeto the fact that the literature about the set of causes of this disorder is difficult to explicate. Further, factors likesmoking, alcohol, drugs, diseases and trauma may cause tooth grinding. Psychological factors like stress andpersonality are frequently allude to bruxism as well. However, research to these factors comes to vacillating results andneeds further attention. Taken all evidence together, bruxism appears to be mainly controlled. In order to study teethgrinding behaviour and other oral conditions requires the ability to accurately measure the pressure on the teeth. Sodesign of pressure sensor is being proposed. This pressure sensor measures the grinding force applied on teeth. So toplace a sensor in the mouth requires small size devices with powering and measurement techniques that do not hinderthe normal life of the patient. To meet these requirements, a MEMS based Capacitive sensor is being designed for itsbiocompatibility and zero power consumption.
