Chewing simulator, which can partly mimic the motion of chewing motion of human, has been successfully developed. The purpose of its development was to make a new machine which can anticipate the clinical results of restoration in the human teeth more accurately in vitro condition It is composed of 4 major parts; chewing part, motor part, water bath, controlling part. The controlling part control the chewing force, frequency, the temperature and running time of water. Additionally, the actual chewing force and remaining time is shown in the monitor of controlling part. At present, the chewing cycle is composed depending on the pre-published data of foreign people. Long term clinical data should be additionally collected for the simulator to mimic the clinical results more accurately.
