First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An oral sensor system, comprising: a housing with an electrical circuit for evaluating measurement signals; and a replaceable contact device for the electrical circuit, which is coupled to the housing in a liquid-tight manner. 2 . The oral sensor system according to claim 1 , wherein the replaceable contact device comprises an adhesive and/or swelling layer for liquid-tight coupling with the housing. 3 . The oral sensor system according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive and/or swelling layer comprises hydrocolloids. 4 . The oral sensor system according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive and/or swelling layer is arranged around the contact surfaces on the contact device. 5 . The oral sensor system according to claim 1 , wherein the contact device has a disk shape, a plate shape or a cube shape. 6 . The oral sensor system according to claim 5 , wherein the contact device has contact surfaces on one and/or the other side. 7 . The oral sensor system according to claim 5 , wherein the housing comprises a recess for inserting the contact device. 8 . The oral sensor system according to claim 7 , wherein the housing or the contact device comprises a sealing ring for sealing the contact device or the housing in the recess. 9 . The oral sensor system according to claim 5 , wherein an edge of the contact device is made of plastic. 10 . The oral sensor system according to claim 5 , wherein the housing and/or the contact device comprises a screw thread. 11 . The oral sensor system according to claim 1 , wherein the contact device comprises a sensor base protruding from a sealing material. 12 . The oral sensor system according to claim 11 , wherein the sealing material comprises a recess for inserting a housing portion. 13 . The oral sensor system according to claim 12 , wherein the housing portion comprises a protruding collar. 14 . The oral sensor system according to claim 11 , wherein the recess comprises a circumferential depression for receiving the collar. 15 .
