Digital Occlusal Analysis and Bite Force Evaluation of the Hall Technique Vs Stainless Steel Crowns in Primary Molars Using T-scan

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare two restorative techniques for managing carious primary molars in children aged 6-9 years: the Hall Technique and conventional stainless-steel crown (SSC) placement. The study evaluates how each technique affects occlusal force distribution, mean bite force, and vertical dimension changes using the T-Scan digital occlusal analysis system. Additional outcomes include temporomandibular joint assessment, child discomfort levels, and parental satisfaction with treatment. Participants are allocated 1:1 to receive either the Hall Technique or conventional SSC restoration, and outcomes are measured at baseline, immediately after treatment, and at 2- and 4-week follow-ups. The study aims to determine whether the minimally invasive Hall Technique provides comparable occlusal function and patient-centered outcomes when compared to traditional SSC preparation methods.

Digitalization of Maxillo-mandibular Relation for Arches With Occlusal Support Loss

Accurate recording of the intermaxillary relationship is crucial for achieving successful restorative outcomes. In cases of occlusal support loss, determining and recording the intermaxillary relationship becomes more complex. This study aims to compare the occlusal compatibility of restorations fabricated using either an intraoral scanner or a jaw motion tracking and analysis device for recording the intermaxillary relationship in patients with occlusal support loss.

Trueness of Digital Occlusal Analysis

The aims of this observational study are to evaluate the trueness of two different digital occlusal analyzers; handheld occlusal analyzer versus intraoral scanner in comparison to conventional methods in identifying true occlusal contacts and to evaluate inter-examiner reliability of two examiners independently analyzing occlusal contacts.
