Creating Proper Occlusion With OccluSense® to Achieve Sound Function.

Proper occlusion is a foundational element of dentistry that affects various aspects of dental health, including a patient's oral function, structure, and esthetics. Among the tools dentists use to gauge a patient's occlusion are articulating paper and shimstock. A new system that combines both traditional and digital registration of the pressure distribution on occlusal surfaces can aid clinicians in further analyzing a patient's occlusion and more precisely diagnosing anomalies. In this article, three clinical cases are presented in which the OccluSense® system was used to address occlusion issues in restorative dentistry, orthodontics, and prosthodontics.
