Three-dimensional analysis using a dental model scanner: Morphological changes of occlusal appliances used for sleep bruxism under dry and wet conditions
After 4 weeks of storage under dry conditions, OcA showed a typical deformation pattern of shrinkage toward the center, with in-center lifting toward the palatal side. Significantly greater surface deviations, deformation areas, and deformation volumes were observed under dry conditions than in wet conditions.
