Article Synopsis
- Bone plays vital roles in the body, serving as a calcium phosphate reservoir and protecting organs, making its health crucial for overall metabolic balance.
- Current diagnostic methods for bone conditions are often invasive and use ionizing radiation, prompting a need for noninvasive evaluation techniques.
- This study introduces a piezo-actuated device for monitoring bone alterations through electromechanical impedance, showing that changes in bone density can be detected through electrical resistance measurements correlated to decalcification over time.
This study exposes the assessment of a piezo-actuated sensor for monitoring elastic variations (change in Young's modulus) of a host structure in which it is attached. The host structure is monitored through a coupling interface connected to the piezo-actuated device. Two coupling interfaces were considered (an aluminum cone and a human tooth) for the experimental tests.

Materials And Methods: A CAD model of an upper right canine, its alveolar bone and periodontal ligament, thermoformed plastic aligner, and two light-cured composite attachments were constructed. A FE model was used to analyze the effects of imposing a distal movement condition of 0.
