Abstract
In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the number of available digital systems. One of the main rea- sons for this is that Intra-Oral Scanner (IOS) has become increasingly better, smaller, and faster, while the design software has become more and more user-friendly. Therefore, when making a wide range of prostheses with occlusal reconstruction, a digital system is used for the purpose of clarifying diagnostic criteria at the stage of diagnostic examination to make prosthetic treat- ment plans. We decided to apply digital occlusal reconstruction with the aim of obtaining more accurate treatment results by three-dimensionally visualizing diagnostic criteria that were previously invisible and applying them to prosthetic treatment. By integrating Cone Beam CT (CBCT) and IOS data, there are other invisible diagnostic criteria such as the centric relation, which is the reference point for the mandibular position, and the camper’s plane, which is the reference for the maxillary occlusal plane, as criteria for occlusal reconstruction. We report through a clinical case that more accurate treatment results can be derived by visualization.
