CLINICAL METHOD FOR ORTHODONTIC DIGITAL CONSTRUCTION BITE.

Nowadays removable functional appliances are highly widespread in the field of Orthodontic. The construction bite taking may be challenge trough intraoral scanner. The problem comes from the fact the patient must stay in the exactly same lay, while the operator make right and left digital occlusion. For the patient is easy to make “the same” bite, and the operator make both sides without difficulties. For fabrication of functional appliances the construction bite require to have space between tooth arches, and upper and lower arch to be in determined relations. There is patients, which can stay steel, during the operator make the both sides, but there is always risk to make a little motion, which will compromise the construction bite and fabrication of appliance. Thereby, the operator need “something” which will provide the tooth arches to stay stable during operator take the construct occlusion. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical method for Orthodontic digital construction bite taking. Methodology: Intraoral scanner Medit i 700 was used for presentation of this clinical method. Condensation silicone Zetaplus by Zhermark was used for the bite guide. The patient included in the article was after orthodontic treatment with fixed technique. In the same day the brackets was taken off, the construction bite was taken in clinical setting. Results: The present clinical method was effective to provide stability during construction occlusion for fabrication of Twin Bloc appliance has been taking. The method may be used for any construction bite that is needed – for other functional appliances, for surgical guide and etcetera. Conclusions: The digital intraoral scanner are reliable tool for provide accurate 3D model of the teeth, and to take normal and construction occlusion. The described methodology is a little step in digital workflow process, which provide stability of occlusion and chance for clinician to be sure in construction bite. The advantages that it give are improved patient experience, increased treatment efficiency, time efficiency. This methodology is a little step in digital workflow process, which provide stability of occlusion and chance for clinician to be sure in construction bite. The advantages that it gives are improved patient experience, increased treatment efficiency, time efficiency. The new technology continue to evolve and suite better clinicians needs which affect as improvement of patients care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
