  • Title: Computerized occlusal analysis as an alternative occlusal indicator.
    Author: Afrashtehfar KI, Qadeer S.
    Journal: Cranio; 2016 Jan; 34(1):52-7. PubMed ID: 25323220.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: All disciplines of dentistry require that clinicians assess the articulation of the teeth/prosthesis with respect to simultaneous contacts, bite force and timing. AIMS: This article intends to describe the advantages and limitations of the data acquired when using a computerized occlusal analysis as a dynamic occlusal indicator. METHODOLOGY: A search of the literature was completed (Medline, PubMed) using the keywords occlusion, occlusal registration, computerized occlusal analysis and T-Scan for dental. RESULTS: According to the evidence available, the computerized occlusal analysis system is the only occlusal indicator that demonstrates the ability to provide quantifiable force and time variance in a real-time window from the initial tooth contact into maximum intercuspation. CONCLUSION: The reported advantages to accurately indicate occlusal contacts make the computerized occlusal analysis system a better occlusal indicator when compared with other non-digital convention indicator materials available.
