Three-dimensional retrospective comparison of disc repositioning, condylar remodelling, and mandibular symmetry following traditional versus digital articulation techniques in patients with temporomandibular disorders
Restoring the optimal disc-condyle relationship is associated with condylar bone regeneration. The digital articulating technique offers precise control over the mandibular position and joint configuration, demonstrating satisfactory performance in improving the articular disc condition and reversing condylar bone destruction. Furthermore, it is user-friendly and highly efficient. The results suggest that the digital articulation technique may be a promising method for repositioning the articular disc and restoring condylar bone integrity.
