Abstract:
The following article describes a method for the clinical depiction and documentation of the strength, extent, and location of occlusal contact areas on the basis of digitized bite records. Bite records made of low-viscosity, addition-cured silicone in centric occlusion are digitized in a document scanner using incident and transmitted light scanning. Layer thicknesses < 20 microm were interpreted as occlusal contacts and classified as belonging to the anatomical structures of the occlusal surfaces. This procedure is of particular significance for epidemiological studies, but also of interest for dental practices and laboratories, since it can be used as a simple method of continuous quality control, documentation, and archiving of the patient's current occlusal contact situation.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
