Journal Title: Modern Approaches in Dentistry and Oral Health Care - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
A high percentage of dental restorative procedures failure is attributed to the failure of maintaining the patient's occlusal patterns, and this fact becomes more and more valid as the restoration is more and more extensive. Our need to evaluate the distribution and the quality of occlusal forces is of a growing importance along with our growing knowledge of the masticatory system's sensational perception in the Central Nervous System, keeping in mind that the CNS potential adaptation is of a limited capacity and this is related to some individual factors of the patient (age is a major factor). Among the symptoms of inaccurate bite registration: i. Functional difficulty, may reach the extend of refusal and rejection of the assumed restoration ii. Distortion of speech, swallowing and breathing iii. Headaches, Ear pain, vision distortion, throat and neck pain iv. TMJ dysfunction This concept applies to all kind of restorations including fillings, crowns and bridges, but it is very important in two special cases; A. Comprehensive Dental Treatment under General Anesthesia B. Full mouth rehabilitation The digital bite registration can give.com a good idea about the patient's bite patterns before commencing any procedure, so we have an idea regarding the forces distribution and what are the needed modifications if any is undoubtedly needed and the quantity and quality of the required modifications. The added conventional method is to create a stable position of the tray, so we can use it and reuse it as required without taking the risk of a new bite patterns when checks up are repeated. We can use any bite registration semi fluid material (silicon) keeping in mind the fast setting (20 seconds) plasticity and relative stability. This method will enable.com to avoid taking impressions to create models and usage of bite registration papers (blue papers). It is an accurate way to control and study new contact points in a scientific, up to date, readable and reliable procedure.
