This article describes the development and testing of a computer-controlled chewing simulator which is able to simulate the wear mechanisms and temperature changes that can occur in the mouth. It was further evaluated if the opposing cusps used in this chewing simulator should be metallic or if natural enamel was preferential. The results indicated that the machine fulfilled the parameters concerning chewing motion and thermal changes reported in the literature. Furthermore it was shown that natural enamel cusps must be used as the opposing dentition. The chewing simulator will form a part of an in-vitro test, which will allow the evaluation of dental restorative systems under clinically relevant conditions.
本文介绍了一种计算机控制的咀嚼模拟器的开发和测试，该模拟器能够模拟口腔中可能发生的磨损机制和温度变化。还进一步评估了该咀嚼模拟器中使用的对颌牙尖应该是金属材质的还是天然牙釉质更合适。结果表明，该机器满足了文献中报道的有关咀嚼运动和热变化的参数。此外，研究表明必须使用天然牙釉质牙尖作为对颌牙列。该咀嚼模拟器将成为体外测试的一部分，这将允许在临床相关条件下评估牙科修复系统。
