Investigation of Test Foods With Different Hardness and Size on Lower Jaw Movements and Occlusal Morphology Which Designed With Chewing Registrations of Different Test Foods

One of the most important goals of prosthetic treatment is to make the occlusal morphology suitable for the patient's original anatomy. Mechanical articulators are metal devices that mimic the temporomandibular joint and lower jaw movements, and attempts have been made to make them patient-specific over the years. For this purpose, semi-adjustable articulators were first developed. Later, fully adjustable articulators were introduced to the market. Although these devices have the closest imitation mechanism to the patient's original anatomy, they have various limitations. Adjusting mechanical articulators and recording lower jaw movements have been researched in dentistry clinics and dentistry literature for many years. Due to the limitations of articulators, digital recordings of lower jaw movements have been started since 1989. Later, in 2002, the process of adjusting virtual articulators in a computer environment according to the digital recording data of the mandibular movements was started. In this way, the limitations of mechanical articulators such as metal deformation, difficulties experienced during recording, distortion of plaster and recording material, insufficient stability, adaptation problems of base plates, logistic problems between the laboratory and the physician, and inability to store data have been largely eliminated. In addition, mechanical articulators still cannot fully mimic the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint and related muscles. Digital recor…
