Computerized occlusal analysis: an evaluation of the sensors

J Prosthet Dent. 1991 Jan;65(1):89-92. doi: 10.1016/0022-3913(91)90056-3.

Abstract

Dentists traditionally depend on their experiences to evaluate occlusion. A computerized system, that enables an objective analysis of dental occlusion has been developed and is currently available. A key component of the system is the disposable sensor. This research tested the sensors' validity and reliability in detection of known interceptive occlusal contact and discovered that the sensors were valid when used just twice.
