Three-dimensional analysis using a dental model scanner: Morphological changes of occlusal appliances used for sleep bruxism under dry and wet conditions.
<h4>Objective</h4>This study used a dental model scanner and best-fit alignment to analyze the deformation patterns of stabilized occlusal appliances (OcAs) used to treat sleep bruxism when stored in wet or dry conditions.<h4>Methods</h4>Eight OcAs were prepared using polymet...

| description | <h4>Objective</h4>This study used a dental model scanner and best-fit alignment to analyze the deformation patterns of stabilized occlusal appliances (OcAs) used to treat sleep bruxism when stored in wet or dry conditions.<h4>Methods</h4>Eight OcAs were prepared using polymethyl methacrylate, stored in water at room temperature for 4 weeks (wet storage), and then in air for 4 weeks (dry storage). After being stored in water for one month for hydration, they were 3D-scanned and digitized on days 0, 28, and 56. 3D-deformation patterns were obtained by comparing the storage-D group data using a best-fit alignment program that aligns the nearest points of the corresponding images in a virtual space and calculates the difference between the two images. The maximum deviation and deformed area in the ± direction, and the volume of the wet (W) and the dry (D) condition groups were compared using Wilcoxon's signed rank test.<h4>Results</h4>OcA showed no obvious deformities in the W group at 4 weeks. However, in the D Group, a typical deformation pattern was detected at 4 weeks, with the posterior margin of the molars shrinking anteriorly, the palatal side of the molars lifted, and the buccal side retracted inward. The Ⅾ group was significantly larger than the W groups in terms of maximum deviation in the ± direction, deformed area, and volume.<h4>Conclusions</h4>After 4 weeks of storage under dry conditions, OcA showed a typical deformation pattern of shrinkage toward the center, with in-center lifting toward the palatal side. Significantly greater surface deviations, deformation areas, and deformation volumes were observed under dry conditions than in wet conditions. |
