TLDR
T-scan is a reliable method for measuring the OCA, but the 3D surface scan is not, and occlusal registration showed a high validity.Abstract:
PURPOSE To determine the reliability of T-scan and 3D intraoral scan techniques for assessing the occlusal contact area (OCA), compared to occlusal registration and also to assess the validity of the techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-one dentate adults participated in this cross-sectional study. T-scan records were used to measure the OCA at maximum bite force and at 50% of maximum force using the software's bite force selection tool. A second method measured the OCA between 2 virtual models scanned intraorally using a 3D surface scan and considering the occlusal contact at 2 interocclusal distances (0-100 and 0-200 µm). The third method measured OCA using occlusal registration at moderate and maximum occlusal force, and considering contact at the 2 interocclusal distances (0-100 and 0-200 µm). Images obtained using the 3 methods were analyzed using ImageJ software. Test-retest reliability was assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and validity by Pearson correlations. RESULTS ICCs ranged from 0.56 to 0.79 (p < 0.001) for the T-scan; 0.37 to 0.61 (p < 0.05) for 3D surface scan; and 0.92 to 0.95 (p < 0.0005) for occlusal registration. The highest OCA values were obtained using the T-scan, and the lowest using the 3D surface scan. Occlusal registration measurements had the highest correlations with those of the other techniques. CONCLUSIONS T-scan is a reliable method for measuring the OCA, but the 3D surface scan is not. Occlusal registration showed a high validity.read more

Digital Quantification of Occlusal Contacts: A Methodological Study.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the reliability of digital occlusal contacts quantification and the validity of traditional methods used for traditional contact determination with three different methods: (i) a digital examination of the patients' casts, using the Ortho 3D Models (O3DM) software and measuring the total occlusc contact area in square millimeters (DE); (ii) an examination involving the measurement of the total number of occlisc contacts on stone casts mounted in an articulator (AE); and (iii) a clinical examination with the measurement with the total

TL;DR: Number of functional tooth units and bite force were confirmed as the key determinants of masticatory performance, which suggests that their maintenance may be of major importance for promoting healthful functional status.

Influence of Clenching Intensity on Bite Force Balance, Occlusal Contact Area, and Average Bite Pressure
TL;DR: The results in normal subjects suggest that as the clenching intensity increases in the intercuspal position, the bite force adjusts to a position where it is well-balanced, which may prevent damage and overload to the teeth and temporomandibular joints.

Masticatory performance and areas of occlusal contact and near contact in subjects with normal occlusion and malocclusion.
TL;DR: ACNC are similar on the right and left sides; subjects with larger ACNC are better able to break down foods; and that subjects with malocclusions have smaller ACNC than those with normal occlusions.
