It will be possible to predict the success and failure of the prosthodontic treatment and prevent clinical complications if the oral environment including prostheses and their supporting teeth and periodontium can be monitored in real time. The aim of this report is to introduce the concept of a smart prosthesis, which monitors specific factors in the oral cavity, and investigate its feasibility through a literature review of MEMS (Micro-electro-mechanical System) and Biosensing.
