Comparing digital and hand methods for dental occlusion in jaw surgery
Assessment of Virtual Digital Articulation Versus Hand-articulation Accuracy for Occlusal Registration in Orthognathic Surgery (Randomized Clinical Trial)
This study tests whether using digital methods for measuring bite can help people with jaw deformities have better surgery results compared to traditional hand methods.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the accuracy of digital occlusal registration compared to traditional hand-articulation methods in planning orthognathic surgery for patients with dentoalveolar deformities. It utilizes computer-assisted planning to create precise digital images of dental models, which can enhance the quality of surgical outcomes. The study aims to address the discomfort and time-consuming nature of conventional methods while minimizing errors in occlusal registration. Participants will undergo either digital or hand articulation to determine the most effective approach for achieving ideal dental occlusion.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals aged 18-40 who require orthognathic surgery to correct dentofacial occlusion deformities.
Not a fit: Patients with missing central incisors, canines, or first molars, or those with significant medical conditions or facial clefts may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate and comfortable planning for orthognathic surgery, improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with digital occlusion methods, indicating potential success for this approach.
