Virtual occlusal record: a literature review about the digital method

To produce prostheses through the digital flow, it is essential to transfer correct patient’s interocclusal relationship software program, enabling articulation of virtual models. Therefore, aim this study was carry out a narrative literature review describe and discuss aspects related occlusal record realization, as well its precision accuracy in different clinical situations. Searches for scientific publications were performed databases only articles English topic selected. Different methods alignment models are described literature, main one being scanning patient occlusion, usually position maximum intercuspation. However, technique may demonstrate disagreement with patient's actual due several factors, therefore studies carried verify these records. Most use plaster industrial scanner capture record, few intraoral patients. Despite various systems available ways evaluating them, general, show an adequate records dentate absence dental elements lower records, necessary establish appropriate method
