In a healthy tooth, bone converts mechanical stress to an electrical potential that influences the activity of bone cells (osteoclasts and osteoblasts). Further, the tooth reacts to the electrical stimulus forming a natural biological regulatory system. The project aims at restoring the sensing functions of the regulatory system in dental implants by designing and manufacturing an embedded wireless micro-sensor in a 3D printed titanium implant root.
