OBJECTIVE This study was designed to analyze the complete denture occlusal contacts by three-dimensional digital technique. METHODS The artificial teeth occlusal surfaces of ten complete dentures were scanned by noncontact laser scanner and were reconstructed by three-dimensional technique. The locations and the numbers of occlusal contacts between the upper and lower full dentures were studied and measured in centric occlusal position, and further compared with the T-Scan system results by paired t test. RESULTS (1) The results of occlusal contacts indicated that occlusal contacts were concentrated on molars and premolars and there were only 2 contacts in the area of anterior teeth. (2) There was no significant difference between three-dimensional reconstructive systematic measurement and T-Scan systematic measurement (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study verified the reliability of the measurement for occlusal contacts by the three-dimensional digital system, and may lead to a new way for occlusal contacts research.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D008963 Molar The most posterior teeth on either side of the jaw, totaling eight in the deciduous dentition (2 on each side, upper and lower), and usually 12 in the permanent dentition (three on each side, upper and lower). They are grinding teeth, having large crowns and broad chewing surfaces. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p821) Molars
D003766 Dental Occlusion The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D021621 Imaging, Three-Dimensional The process of generating three-dimensional images by electronic, photographic, or other methods. For example, three-dimensional images can be generated by assembling multiple tomographic images with the aid of a computer, while photographic 3-D images (HOLOGRAPHY) can be made by exposing film to the interference pattern created when two laser light sources shine on an object.
