Occlusal Adjustments Needed for Michigan Splints Made Using Different Digital Bite Records

This clinical study evaluated digital occlusal recording methods used in the fabrication of Michigan occlusal splints. The objective was to assess whether different digital bite registration techniques influenced the accuracy of occlusal splints and the amount of occlusal adjustment required at clinical fitting. Participants underwent digital bite registration procedures and received Michigan occlusal splints fabricated using different digital workflows. Follow-up visits were conducted for splint fitting and occlusal assessment. Participant safety and data confidentiality were maintained throughout the study, and all required ethical approvals and risk assessments were obtained prior to study initiation. The study findings were intended to support improvements in digital dental workflows and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of occlusal splint fabrication.
