The continuous miniaturization of electronics and increasing knowledge of biological processes enable us to develop intelligent implantable systems to enhance the Quality Of Life. One of such systems controls the passive stimulation of bone formation in a dental environment. By giving patient feedback in case of overload, one should be able to minimize rehabilitation period drastically. We developed an electronic dental prosthesis, incorporating an ASIC (Application Specific IC), power supply system and necessary sensors. The electronic components are incorporated into a custom designed dental framework. The system can communicate wirelessly with an external transceiver which enables a patient tailored approach. In situ calibration and threshold programming is performed before the dental prosthesis works as a completely autonomous device.
