“…Each type of test sheet has two subtypes according to the detectable range of pressure (30H, 3–30 MPa; and 50H, 5–50 MPa). In this study, we preferred the 30H type because it is more sensitive in the lower range of pressure (Suzuki et al ., 1994) and, therefore we think, suitable for evaluation in female patients with MD. In this study, more than 98% of the occlusal load delivered from the patients was detectable with the 30H‐type test sheet.…”

“…Dental Prescale ® 1 which has been recently developed, is a material which can detect occlusal contact by a colour‐developing chemical reaction. A computerized system with Dental Prescale ® serves quantitative data on occlusal contact and load simultaneously on all occlusal points in the dental arch (Hattori, Okugawa & Watanabe, 1994; Suzuki et al ., 1994; Matsui et al ., 1996).…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of stabilization splint therapy on occlusal force in patients with masticatory muscle disorders (MD). Six female patients with myalgia or myofascial pain participated in this study. The occlusal points and load on the dental arch in maximum clenching was measured using the computerized system with Dental Prescale(R) before and after the use of the splint. There were no significant changes in the number of occlusal points, mean occlusal pressure, and asymmetry in occlusal balance between before and after the use of the splint. However, there were significant differences in the extent of the area of occlusion and in the integrated occlusal loads. The integrated occlusal load converged to the normal level with the use of the splint. From the results of this study, it is suggested that the use of the stabilization splint has the effect of normalizing the occlusal force.

“…He used the dental prescale which is a horseshoe shaped sheet with a thickness of 97 μ that consists of two layers: A layer of microcapsules containing color forming material and a layer of color developing material. [ 31 32 33 ] The dental prescale system can be used to detect contact areas to which a pressure of >30 kgf/cm 2 has been applied. This is superior to other tests such as silicone, which provide little resistance to occlusion.…”

Masticatory efficiency after rehabilitation of acquired maxillary and mandibular defects

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The effect of oral cancer with its therapeutic intervention involves significant facial and functional disabilities. It is customary to rehabilitate these patients by surgical or prosthetic means. Studies have been done to assess mastication and other functions after rehabilitation. A review of these studies for assessing masticatory function has been done under separate sections for maxillary and mandibular defects. Different masticatory tests are mentioned. Further scope for research has been highlighted.

“…This system is now being used in various fields of dental research, particularly by Japanese researchers [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] . These studies have suggested that this system might help evaluating masticatory function and could be applicable to general dental clinical work.…”

We examined the feasibility of applying the Dental Prescale Occluzer System ™ to the evaluation of occlusion in orthodontic patients. The patients were classified according to the type of malocclusion or facial pattern. The values of occlusal contact area and occlusal force obtained from these individuals differed depending on the type of occlusion or facial pattern. These values were higher in individuals with normal occlusion than in patients with malocclusion and higher in patients with the Brachyo facial pattern than in those with the Dolico facial pattern. Because this system can very easily analyze the occlusal contact area, the mean pressure on each occlusal contact point, and the occlusal force during the process of orthodontic treatments, it can be useful as an aid for the initial diagnosis of occlusal problems, the observation of the changes in occlusion during treatment, and the establishment of the final goal of orthodontic treatments.
