Abstract

Objective: This study evaluated the effect of computer-guided occlusal adjustment versus articulating paper on implant-retained mandibular complete overdenture on force distribution. Patients and Methods: From the removable prosthodontics department clinic, Faculty of Dental Medicine (Boys, Cairo, Egypt), Al-Azhar University, ten completely edentulous patients were randomly selected. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group I received dentures adjusted by articulating paper, and group II received dentures adjusted by t-scan. Statistical analysis was done using a student t-test, while data distribution of normality was done using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between group I & group 2 in the anterior area at one week and three months intervals, while there was a statistically significant difference between group I and group 2 in the posterior regions at one week, three months, and six months. Conclusion: T-scan could be promisingly used for occlusal adjustment in complete dentures.
