Name Time Method Wear of the splint material:<br>The wear is recorded by means of a surface scan after the test wear and after 3 and 6 months of wearing. The surfaces are scanned with high-precision scanners (GOM Atos 135, GOM Metrology, Braunschweig). Wear is determined by superimposing the scans and using the GOM Inspect analysis software.
