This study aimed to determine the steady-state errors of oral-based temperature sensors embedded in mouthguards. Four electronic boards with temperature sensors were encapsulated in mouthguards and tested in a thermostatic water bath at 34, 38.5, and 43 °C. A mean absolute error of 0.2 °C was reached after a maximum of 690 s. A case study showed an absolute error of 0.2 °C after 1110 s. The instrumented mouthguard yielded consistent steady-state error close to clinical requirements, but the time to reach steady-state temperature needs consideration.
