Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We examined the feasibility of applying the Dental Prescale Occluzer System to the evaluation of occlusion in orthodontic patients. The patients were classified according to the type of malocclusion or facial pattern. The values of occlusal contact area and occlusal force obtained from these individuals differed depending on the type of occlusion or facial pattern. These values were higher in individuals with normal occlusion than in patients with malocclusion and higher in patients with the Brachyo facial pattern than in those with the Dolico facial pattern. Because this system can very easily analyze the occlusal contact area, the mean pressure on each occlusal contact point, and the occlusal force during the process of orthodontic treatments, it can be useful as an aid for the initial diagnosis of occlusal problems, the observation of the changes in occlusion during treatment, and the establishment of the final goal of orthodontic treatments. |
