Tools used in Prosthodontic Research studies- A Review Article

Abstract

Abstract: In order to successfully complete studies in the field of prosthodontics, some specialized tools or apparatus are required. These tools are used to measure the distance between various reference lines or points, evaluate the mechanical qualities
of dental materials, detect color, and examine the surface characteristics of materials, imaging oral microorganisms, analyzing patterns of stress distribution at different interfaces, measuring temperature changes, detecting tongue-palate interactions, and measuring bite forces. All of these equipment used for various prosthodontic research studies are compiled in this article.
