Brief Summary

Background: Occlusal contacts analysis is of prime importance in order to perform an effective prosthetic restoration. Quantitative methods for occlusal contact analysis involve using digital systems to measure and analyze occlusal contacts and forces with greater precision than traditional methods. One of these devices is the OccluSense which is sensor based system and basically used without any support of its sensor. Therefore the aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the validity of a customizable stabilizing tray to support the sensor of the OccluSense intraoral. A total of 22 healthy dental students, aged from 18-25 years, are recruited. Each participant will undergo two set of recordings; firstly by the OccluSense without centering tray then with the tray seated intraoral. Occlusal contacts were recorded under maximum bite force and Maximum Intercuspation Position (MIP).

Conditions

Occlusal Analysis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• total number of occlusal contacts recorded by the device

  this study has unique characteristics. Each participant underwent two set of occlusal recordings with one week interval between the intervention and control toto minimize the risk of muscle fatigue. the outcomes were measured and analyzed instantly

• total contact area and the Number of contact points

  two visits with one week interval

Study Arms (1)

osscluSense with customized centering tray

EXPERIMENTAL

occlusal contacts was recoded using the osscluSense with customized centering tray

Device: osscluSense with customized centering tray

Interventions

osscluSense with customized centering tray DEVICE

A customizable centering tray is a thermoplastic or 3D-printed tray designed to hold the OccluSense sensor straight and centered between arches

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 25 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• \- intact arches, no missing teeth, and no TMD disorder.

You may not qualify if:

• patients with less than 24 natural teeth, the presence of active orthodontic treatment, as it could interfere with the data acquisition process, the presence of fixed restorations, severe malocclusion, and those with orofacial pain.

Model Details: 22 healthy dental students, all aged from 18-25 years, was recruited on a voluntary basis, from the faculty of dentistry Cairo University with the following inclusion criteria; intact arches, no missing teeth, and no TMD disorder. The exclusion criteria included students with less than 24 natural teeth, the presence of active orthodontic treatment, as it could interfere with the data acquisition process, the presence of fixed restorations, severe malocclusion, and those with orofacial pain. The digital occlusal analysis device used in this study is the OccluSense® (Bausch, Cologne, Germany). Participants were divided into two groups; for group (A) the occlusal contacts was recoded using the osscluSense with customized centering tray, for group (B) the osscluSense was used without the customizable centering tray.
