Design of electronic malocclusion measurement tool

Abstract

These days, dentists used a conventional method to measure malocclusion complexity level, which is to manually measure the patient's mold teeth. That way of measuring needs lots of time, which can be said that it has less efficiency and effectiveness in regard of time and cost. In this research, we make more modern malocclusion measurement equipment. This equipment is made using an electronic sensor in which allows faster measurement. The sensor we used is flux sensor in which is used to measure overjet and overbite on central incisor. The result gained from measuring using this equipment when compared with manual measurement will give an accurate value of more than 80% (except for a single measurement which gave a 490% error). The lowest error is at 0% and the highest error is at 19%.
