Where Would You Adjust?

Learning by TekscanThere was a study done at the University of Alberta to analyze the correlation of force to size of an articulating paper mark. Would you believe that only 21% of the time did similar loads result in similar mark area? These findings indicate that size offers no quantifiable information from which you can reliably deduce which marks should be adjusted. Therefore, choosing forceful contact marks based upon mark appearance characteristics is highly error prone.

 

The study reported that "it would be impossible for a dentist to correctly pick the right mark from its size appearance" as there was no correlation between the size and the color of a mark, to the degree of occlusal force contained within that mark. This study proves the need for a more accurate way to measure occlusal contacts. Take the quiz and earn 2 hrs free CE!
