Abstract

Patients with aberrant occlusal patterns, including constricted mastication patterns or occlusal dysfunction, may require occlusal equilibration. Conventional diagnostic procedures involve diagnostic stone casts mounted in the articulator. During diagnostic procedures, occlusal equilibration methods are simulated on mounted stone casts to analyze the amount of dental structure that may need to be removed. A technique to virtually simulate an occlusal equilibration procedure is described. Digital data acquisition procedures include diagnostic casts acquired using an intraoral scanner and the repeatable reference position of the mandible or centric relation, excursive movements, and the mastication pattern captured using an optical jaw tracking system. The jaw tracker and dental design programs are used to simulate the occlusal equilibration.

结合口内扫描仪、光学颌骨跟踪系统和牙科设计程序的数字诊断咬合平衡：牙科技术

咬合模式异常的患者，包括咀嚼模式收缩或咬合功能障碍，可能需要进行咬合平衡。传统的诊断程序是将诊断用的铸石安装在咬合器上。在诊断过程中，咬合平衡方法是在安装好的石头模型上模拟的，以分析可能需要去除的牙齿结构的数量。描述了一种虚拟模拟咬合平衡程序的技术。数字数据采集程序包括使用口内扫描仪采集的诊断石膏，以及使用光学颌骨跟踪系统采集的下颌骨可重复参考位置或中心关系、偏移运动和咀嚼模式。颌骨跟踪器和牙科设计程序用于模拟咬合平衡。
