In dental research, bite force has become an important curative effect evaluation index for tooth restoration, periodontal treatment, and orthodontic treatment. Bite force is an important parameter to evaluate the efficacy of the masticatory system. Physicians obtain the therapeutic basis for occlusal adjustment by measuring the bite force and the dynamic changes in occlusal contact at different stages of treatment and objectively evaluate the therapeutic effect. At present, many devices are used to record the bite force. Most of these devices use force transducers to detect bite force, such as strain gauge transducers, piezoresistive transducers, piezoelectric transducers, optical fiber transducers, and pressure-sensitive films. This article summarizes the various equipment used to record bite force, related materials and the characteristics of this equipment. It provides a reference for physicians to make choices during the clinical process and at the same time provides a basis for the development of new occlusal force measurement materials.
在牙科研究中，咬合力已成为牙齿修复、牙周治疗和正畸治疗的重要疗效评估指标。咬合力是评估咀嚼系统功效的重要参数。医生通过测量治疗不同阶段的咬合力和咬合接触的动态变化来获得咬合调整的治疗依据，并客观地评估治疗效果。目前，有许多设备用于记录咬合力。这些设备大多使用力传感器来检测咬合力，如应变片式传感器、压阻式传感器、压电式传感器、光纤传感器和压敏膜。本文总结了用于记录咬合力的各种设备、相关材料以及该设备的特点。它为医生在临床过程中做出选择提供参考，同时为新型咬合力测量材料的开发提供依据。
