    Abstract: A sensory unit for implant-supported dental implants or prostheses. The main unit is composed of two or more subunits, or devices. One of the units is placed in the region of the implant head, and will have the function of transforming the mechanical forces into an electrical signal. It can also be placed in the masticatory region of implant supported bridges or overdenture, to perform the same function, i.e., transforming mechanical loads into an electrical signal. A second unit, will receive by a wired or wireless electronic communication the electrical signal, and will convert it into a neurological stimulus perceived sensorially by the sensory endings of the trigeminal nerve, unilaterally, or bilaterally. This second unit will be arranged in the submucosa, in the vicinity of the nerve ending, taking advantage of the anatomical depressions or recesses in the region, and will establish a gradient of neurological stimulation towards the nerve ending.
