Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of 3 thermosensitive microsensors that record "wear time" of removable oral appliances (OAs).

Methods: For in vitro testing, TheraMon (sensor T, n = 20), AIR-AID SLEEP (sensor A, n = 30) and DentiTrac (sensor D, n = 16) microsensors were placed in a water bath to simulate long and short durations of wear. Their accuracy was also assessed when they were embedded in 3 materials: acrylic, polyvinylchloride and thermoactive acrylic. In vivo testing included 14 volunteers, who wore maxillary retainers embedded with sensors A and D for 30 nights. Logs of appliance use were compared with readouts from the sensors.

Results: In the in vitro long duration of wear assessment, sensor A, with a mean absolute response difference (MARD) of 1.67 min. (SD 1.41), was significantly more accurate than sensor T (MARD 3.53 min., SD 9.80) and sensor D (MARD 4.48 min., SD 8.46). For short duration of wear, sensor A (MARD 1.41 min., SD 3.60) and sensor T (MARD 1.68 min., SD 7.64) were equal in accuracy and significantly better than sensor D (MARD 14.07 min., SD 10.20). The embedding material had no effect on the recording accuracies of the microsensors. In vivo, there was no significant difference between sensors A and D.

Conclusion: All 3 microsensors are highly accurate and reliable and can be used to record wear time of a removable OAs fabricated from various materials.

用于监测患者使用可移动口腔器械的热敏微传感器的准确性。

目的:本研究的目的是评估3种记录可摘口腔矫治器(OAs)“磨损时间”的热敏微传感器的准确性。方法:在体外测试中，将TheraMon(传感器T, n = 20)、AIR-AID SLEEP(传感器A, n = 30)和DentiTrac(传感器D, n = 16)微传感器置于水浴中，模拟长时间和短时间的磨损。当它们嵌入3种材料时，也评估了它们的准确性:丙烯酸、聚氯乙烯和热活性丙烯酸。体内测试包括14名志愿者，他们戴上装有传感器A和D的上颌固位器30晚。电器使用日志与传感器的读数进行了比较。结果:在体外长时间磨损评估中，传感器A的平均绝对响应差(MARD)为1.67 min (SD 1.41)，显著高于传感器T (MARD 3.53 min, SD 9.80)和传感器D (MARD 4.48 min, SD 8.46)。在较短的磨损时间内，传感器A (MARD 1.41 min, SD 3.60)和传感器T (MARD 1.68 min, SD 7.64)的精度相同，且显著优于传感器D (MARD 14.07 min, SD 10.20)。包埋材料对微传感器的记录精度没有影响。结论:3种微传感器均具有较高的测量精度和可靠性，可用于记录各种材料制成的可拆卸oa的磨损时间。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
