Evaluation of dental occlusion registration techniques: impact on prosthetic treatment outcomes in contemporary dental practice

The study aimed to compare different types of occlusography, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each, depending on the clinical situation. For this purpose 45 (19 male, 26 female) patients, aged between 25 and 53 years, with various forms of occlusal anomalies were selected, comprehensively examined and prosthetically treated. All patients were subjected to conventional occlusographic methods (articulation paper) and digital (T-scan) in comparison or, depending on the clinical situation, in combination. The clinical-technical algorithm for determining and recording occlusal contacts was determined by the particularities of the clinical cases. It was found that, although modern methods present a number of advantages, both clinical and ergonomic, the complementary use of classical (quantitative) techniques provides an advantage in ensuring an optimal result in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of occlusal anomalies at the level of the dental arches.
