The condition of contact and the distribution of occlusal force is important in the decision of the treatment method and the judgment of the effect of treatment in occlusal examination.
This study was performed to investigate the influence of the insertion area of Prescale on the occlusal contact area, occlusal pressure average, and occlusal force for each tooth in normal persons, and the results were as follows:
1. The occlusal contact area in forward teeth tended to increase when the insertion area of Prescale was moved forward.
2. It was not more prominent than occlusal contact area though occlusal pressure average of forward teeth was increased when the insertion area of Prescale was moved forward.
3. When the insertion area of Prescale was moved forward, the occlusal force of forward teeth tended to increase in the prominence compared with the occlusal contact area and occlusal pressure average.
4. Due to the results, it was suggested that Dental Prescale is a more effective system to analyze occlusal force than occlusal contact area and occlusal pressure average.
