Abstract

This chapter introduces the digital occlusal analysis and Force Finishing concept using digital occlusal scanning device, thus making dental occlusal components easily visible and measurable. This is not possible with using conventional articulating paper and other nondigital tools and materials. Since occlusal force components are invisible and do not become apparent until their adverse effects become chronic, the clinicians generally focus on the aesthetic finishing while keeping a low priority on the Force Finishing by relying on conventional articulating paper mark interpretation and subjective feedback of the “feel” of the patient. However, with the advancement in science and technology of adhesive restorative materials, and the availability of the digital occlusal analysis devices that can measure relative occlusal forces in real time, a modern clinician can predictively treat simple to complex cases in minimally invasive ways, so that the biological cost of the treatment can be drastically reduced, while the quality of the occlusal care rendered is greatly enhanced.
