Abstract
In my clinic one of the objectives of occlusal reconstruction is to stabilize chewing cycle. Occlusal reconstruction is performed based on analysis of the chewing cycle pattern, using medical electronic devices. The chewing cycle is measured at the time of initial examination, provisional restoration placement, final restoration placement, occlusal adjustment, and maintenance to obtain stepwise data for reference at re-evaluation. For the final restoration, in order to optimize the chewing cycle, the occlusal adjustment is simulated using a special articulator that assimilates with the chewing cycle before final adjustments made in-situ. In the present paper, through a clinical case I introduce step-by-step procedure that I follow and discuss how to integrate the data of chewing cycle at each stage.
