OccluSense is Sensor Based System Used as a Digital Method for Occlusal Contact Analysis, 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 OccluSense Sensor in.

Clinical Evaluation of the Validity of Occlusal Contact Area Measurement Using OccluSense With Versus Without Customizable Stabilizing Tray

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).

Inclusion Criteria:

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

Exclusion Criteria:

• 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.
