Fiber-Optic Pressure Sensor System for Diagnosing Anomalies of the Oral Cavity

A fiber-optic sensor of the force (pressure) of the muscles of the tongue on the palate for use in therapeutic dentistry is proposed. Recommendations for laying optical fibers in the sensor, providing an increase in the sensitivity of optical signal conversion in the transducer, are developed. The new technical solution fiber-optic sensor of force (pressure) of muscles of language in stomatology will allow to provide safe, exact and reliable measurement, to improve quality of service of small patients at an initial stage of diagnostics of the disease connected with congenital clefts of the upper lip and the sky and other anomalies of an oral cavity.
