Key Points

This research aims to improve the fabrication process of occlusal devices by implementing a fully digital workflow.
Developed a two-stage protocol for occlusal device fabrication.
Utilized a leaf gauge for mandibular deprogramming followed by 3D printed guides to ensure consistent positioning.
Assessed clinical efficiency by measuring time for adjustments and setup.
The two-stage digital workflow led to a significant reduction in occlusal adjustment time (p<0.05).
Participants reported higher design predictability and stability with the new approach.
The technique improved reproducibility in capturing mandibular positions.
