Consistency of Intraoral-Scanner-Derived Occlusal Contact Distance Maps Between Centric Relation and Maximal Intercuspation

Under controlled scanning conditions, IOS-derived occlusal contact distance maps exhibited comparable distribution patterns between centric relation and maximal intercuspation. These findings support the use of intraoral scanning for comparative evaluation of occlusal contact distance distributions, while highlighting the importance of interpreting IOS-derived visualizations within their methodological and technical limitations.
