Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1.Aged 18–30 years and willing to participate in the study; 2.Complete dentition with no obvious tooth inclination or displacement; 3.Stable and reproducible intercuspal position (ICP); 4.Intact tooth morphology of the test teeth (first premolars and first molars) without obvious tooth structure defects; 5.No pulpitis, obvious caries, occlusal surface restoration (filling), root canal treatment, or crown restoration in the test teeth; 6.No periodontal disease, obvious alveolar bone resorption, or tooth mobility in the test teeth; 7.No abnormal occlusal symptoms in the test teeth; 8.No bruxism or temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD); 9.Not undergoing orthodontic treatment and having no history of orthognathic surgery; 10.No neurological, psychiatric, or psychological disorders, and able to understand and follow the researcher’s instructions;
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1.Individuals under 18 years of age or over 30 years of age; 2.Presence of tilted or displaced teeth, or missing teeth; 3.Unstable occlusal relationship, unable to consistently achieve the intercuspation position; 4.Test tooth shows obvious tooth structure defects. 5.Test teeth have pulpitis or obvious caries, or have undergone filling treatment, root canal treatment or crown restoration. 6.Test teeth show signs of periodontal disease or significant alveolar bone resorption, or have poor mobility. 7.Have symptoms of poor occlusion. 8.Have bruxism or temporomandibular joint disorder; 9.Currently undergoing orthodontic treatment, or have undergone orthognathic surgery; 10.Have diseases related to the nervous system, mental state, or psychological factors, or there is a lack of ability to understand and follow the instructions given by the researchers.
