About

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the T-Scan digital occlusal analysis system and the occlusal analysis mode of the CEREC Omnicam system, which is mainly used for design/ production, using the data recorded at the centric occlusion position.

Material-Method: Occlusal recordings were obtained from healthy 20 females and 20 males aged 18-25 at the centric occlusion position. Records were saved as .jpeg format and transferred to Adobe Photoshop CS6 program. Blue, green, and red colors (shown by the same color codes in both systems) representing light, intense and tight contacts, respectively, were evaluated in terms of the pixel counts. For statistical comparison the differences between the systems Independent Sample T-Test and, between the genders, One Sample T- Test were used (α = 0.05).
