Comparison of the Centric Relation Recorded by Two Methods Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Tooth Loss
Registration Number
NCT05512442
Lead Sponsor
Fujian Medical University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the variation in mandibular relation recorded by the gothic arch methods and the K7 method using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)

Detailed Description

ten asymptomatic participants were selected,the centric relation registrations were separately recorded according to the technique of the gothic arch method and the neuromuscular method,subsequent, they were instructed to perform CBCT wearing two bite registrations,thus using dophin software to calculate the tmj space and the upper airway and using exocad software to ananyse the mandibular position, Data were analysed with paired t-test
