ADVANCEMENT OF THE SELECTIVE TOOTH GRINDING PROTOCOL FOR PATIENTS
Keywords:
The identification of premature contacts and occlusal interferences is accomplished by the use of the standard method, which involves the utilisation of articulating paper with a thickness ranging from 40 to 100 μm. The digital occlusal analysis performed by T-Scan Novus. The Jankelson procedure was adapted for the purpose of occlusal correction, with the primary focus being placed on normalising the masticatory load vector and eliminating traumatic occlusion before proceeding.Abstract
Intention. The purpose is to improve the efficacy of full treatment for patients who have widespread periodontitis. This will be accomplished by improving the selective tooth grinding technique based on an objective study of occlusal connections using the T-Scan digital occlusal analysis technology.
The materials and the procedures. The investigation was carried out with the participation of twenty persons between the ages of 35 and 55 who were in the remission phase of Stage I–II generalised periodontitis. When the patients were receiving supportive therapy, their teeth were crushed specifically for each individual patient. The following were the components of the examination procedure:
Assessment of the condition of periodontal tissue in a clinical setting (including the PMA index, the PI index, and the periodontal pocket depth).
