Influence of the thickness of silicone registration material as a means for occlusal contact examination - an explorative study with different tooth clenching intensities KU Leuven
This study explored the influence of the thickness of silicone registration material on evaluation of the occlusal contact area and number of occlusal contact points, during increasing tooth clenching conditions in normal subjects. Twenty-four subjects with no more than one missing tooth per quadrant participated. Surface electro-myography was recorded from the masseter muscle. As a baseline measurement, intercuspal position was maintained with ...
