Summary
This study evaluated the reproducibility of centric relation (CR) registrations in dental students. Graphic registration showed superior vertical reproducibility compared to the leaf gauge method.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Biomechanics
- Dental Occlusion
Context:
- Centric relation (CR) is crucial for dental diagnostics and therapeutics.
- Accurate CR registration ensures verifiable and reproducible mandibular positioning.
- Assessing CR reproducibility is vital for reliable dental treatments.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the reproducibility of centric relation (CR) registrations.
- To compare the reproducibility of graphic and leaf gauge registration methods.
- To analyze the effects of these methods on articulator condyle position.
Summary:
- Intra-oral graphic recordings were performed on 15 dental students.
- Tracings showed reproducibility within 162 +/- 55 microns (sagittal) and 141 +/- 32 microns (transversal).
- Graphic registration demonstrated significantly higher vertical reproducibility than leaf gauge registration.
Impact:
- Findings highlight the superior vertical accuracy of graphic CR registration.
- This research informs the selection of optimal methods for precise mandibular positioning in dentistry.
- Improved CR registration techniques can enhance the reliability of diagnostic and therapeutic dental procedures.
