Use of T-Scan III in analyzing occlusal changes in molar fixed denture placement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to analyze the longitudinal variation of occlusal force distribution prior to and after fixed restoration for molar full-crowns with T-SCAN III which provide reference for occlusal adjustment and long-term maintenance.

Methods

We enrolled a total of 20 patients who received conventional restorative treatment for molars. The occlusion examination was conducted in 3 stages (before placement, immediately after placement, and 3 months after placement) using T-SCAN III (Tekscan South Boston, MA, USA, 10.0) to examine and measure the occlusal contact areas of the full dentition.

Results

The results indicated that the occlusal force distribution in the molar region of the patients changed before and after the fixed restoration, but the percentages
