Overview
Brief Summary
Background: Occlusal contacts analysis is of prime importance in order to perform an effective prosthetic restoration. Quantitative methods for occlusal contact analysis involve using digital systems to measure and analyze occlusal contacts and forces with greater precision than traditional methods. One of these devices is the OccluSense which is sensor based system and basically used without any support of its sensor. Therefore the aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the validity of a customizable stabilizing tray to support the sensor of the OccluSense intraoral. A total of 22 healthy dental students, aged from 18-25 years, are recruited. Each participant will undergo two set of recordings; firstly by the OccluSense without centering tray then with the tray seated intraoral. Occlusal contacts were recorded under maximum bite force and Maximum Intercuspation Position (MIP).
