Abstract
In a case of posterior bite-collapse, the digital jaw motion measuring device was employed to assess functional movements of the mandible, aiming to acquire objective information from provisional restorations and provide a diagnosis based on scientific evidence. Based on the analysis by the jaw motion measuring device, provisional restorations were assessed again, and the occlusion was reconstructed. In the process of this occlusal reconstruction, provisional restorations are replaced by final restorations, and this is where the dentistʼs intuition and experience are called upon. Presented here is a satisfactory result of such case.
