Abstract:
A technique to improve the precision of recordings acquired with the 2 main digital occlusal analyzers on the market (T-Scan and OccluSense) is presented. This technique consists of using digital occlusal analyzers with a customizable centering tray. The virtual design of the centering tray is available online, together with that of the adapters required for both digital occlusal analyzers. The designs can be downloaded and additively manufactured for clinical use. These parts improve the positioning of the piezoelectric film sensors of the digital occlusal analyzers in the patient's mouth and thus the precision of their records. Improving the precision of the records of the digital occlusal analyzers is especially important for the comparison of records obtained at different stages of rehabilitation treatment.
