Research Abstract	The motion control sensor can measure the posture angles of X, Y and Z axis of the object as all directional angle analysis of the three dimensions by wireless and real time. In this study we developed a novel apparatus using this motion control sensor to support dental examinations and dental treatment and examined a possibility of clinical application of this apparatus especially for dental implant placement or occlusal plane orientation. Our results suggested that the motion control sensor may be a useful tool for a clinical apparatus.
