A method to determine occlusal contact and noncontact areas: preliminary report.
A new method for quantitative occlusal measurement is presented. This method allows for occlusal contacts and noncontact areas to be recorded, permanently referenced, and analyzed over time. The overall extent of application and refinement of the method is unknown. However, at present it provides a method for selectively recording occlusal positions and the surrounding spatial dimensions that occur on closure.
