Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with all teeth (up to and including at least the second molar; no gaps or similar) •Need for an occlusal splint due to probable bruxism (the DGFDT bruxism screening index must diagnose probable bruxism) •Written consent has been obtained
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients who do not meet the above criteria •Periodontitis (may affect tooth mobility) •Patients who, according to basic CMD diagnostics (DGFDT), should undergo further diagnostics. •Patients for whom participation in the study would represent an increased burden due to their age, degree of disability or general condition
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of the project is the clinical examination of the static occlusion of occlusal splints whose jaw relationship is a) virtually locked using AI-supported Bitefinder software; b) intraorally by means of buccal scans of the posterior teeth and locked position c) intraorally by means of buccal scans of the posterior teeth in the final bite (virtually locked) and d) intraorally by means of buccal scans of the posterior teeth in the final bite and digital face bow (virtually locked). This is clinically evaluated using a score based on measured occlusal contacts. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary project goal is to evaluate chewing forces, dynamic occlusion, and determine the time required to grind in the splint. Chewing forces are measured using the T-Scan Novus digital occlusion measuring device. | — |
