Overview

Scoping review compares occlusal contact accuracy in permanent dentition, suggesting articulating paper remains reliable.

Key Points

  • Intraoral scanners cannot match the accuracy of articulating paper for recording occlusal contacts, and this has key implications for dental treatments.
  • Articulating paper is found to be more reliable than intraoral scanners in occlusal contact analysis during prosthodontic procedures.
  • Both methods have limitations, but articulating paper still serves as the preferred tool for evaluating full dentition.
  • Evidence from this review suggests a need for standardized methods in occlusal registration across dental specialties.
