Comparative Analysis of Occlusal Parameters in Post-Orthodontic Patients with and without Non-Carious Cervical Lesions Using T-Scan III

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between occlusal and clinical factors-including relative occlusal force, occlusion time (OT), disclusion time (DT), and occlusal schemes-and the occurrence of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) in post-orthodontic patients, using the T-Scan III system. Materials and Methods: = 26). A total of 1,336 teeth were evaluated (111 with NCCLs, 1,225 without). Data collection included a questionnaire, clinical examination, and T-Scan III recordings. Statistical Analysis: < 0.05. Results: < 0.05). Conclusion: Prolonged occlusion and DTs, higher relative occlusal forces, and group-function occlusion were significantly associated with the presence of NCCLs in post-orthodontic patients. Quantitative occlusal analysis using the T-Scan III system may help clinicians detect functional imbalances and prevent NCCL development during orthodontic follow-up.
