Statement Of Problem: Although in vitro studies have investigated the accuracy of virtual interocclusal records, clinical research on their ability to register virtual dental casts accurately is lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the virtual interocclusal records of an intraoral scanning system compared with conventional polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) interocclusal records.
Material And Methods: Three conventional interocclusal records followed by 3 virtual interocclusal records per side per participant were made in 10 participants. Three sites of close proximity (SCP) and 3 sites of clearance (SC) per side per participant were identified on the transilluminated conventional interocclusal PVS records for a total of 60 SCP and SC. The presence or absence of these sites on the virtual interocclusal records was analyzed by using an independent software program.
Results: The sensitivity for correct identification in the virtual interocclusal record was 87%, and its specificity was 95%. The positive predictive value was 95%, and the negative predictive value was 88%. For reproducibility, 74% of the SCP were detected consistently for all 3 repeated scans, and 92% of the SCs were identified accurately.
Conclusions: The accuracy of virtual interocclusal records in identifying interocclusal contacts is clinically acceptable. However, the method tends to miss interocclusal contacts rather than introducing false ones and can result in perforations between the opposing virtual casts. Repeated buccal occlusal scans made of the same side showed fair reproducibility, and this aspect would benefit from further investigation.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the difficulties of designing prosthetic occlusal surfaces that accurately reflect a patient's jaw movements, highlighting the need for precision in avoiding occlusal interferences during lateral excursions.
- It aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digitally replicating mandibular movements to identify and correct these interferences in CAD-CAM zirconia crowns through two different adjustment methods.
- Results showed that crowns adjusted using only buccal records (Group I) had higher lateral pressure measurements compared to those adjusted with both buccal and lateral records (Group II), suggesting that the latter may lead to better occlusion outcomes.

Interocclusal registration is an essential step in oral rehabilitation. Conventionally, interocclusal registration has been conducted using interocclusal records made of wax or silicone. However, a digital method of registration utilizing an intraoral scanner has been introduced for analyzing inter-arch relationships.

Article Synopsis
- * Methods: Fifty-six crown preparations on stone casts were scanned to measure their distances to opposing teeth, focusing on interocclusal clearance and comparing metrics using statistical analysis.
- * Results: The findings showed that over 47% of the crown preparations lacked proper occlusal clearance, with functional cusps being more frequently under-reduced, highlighting the need for improved quality control in dental education.

Purpose: To evaluate the scanning strategies affecting the accuracy of virtual interocclusal records (VIR) in partially edentulous arches using an intraoral scanner in vitro.
Methods: A reference model of a partially edentulous arch with implant analogs in positions 45,46 and 47 was constructed. Six pairs of 1-mm diameter metal beads were placed on the gingival tissue as markers for measurement.

Article Synopsis
- Digital technology in dentistry, particularly the use of intraoral scanners (IOSs), has improved the process of acquiring occlusal records, highlighting the importance of static virtual articulation in this digital workflow.
- A literature review of 30 relevant studies revealed three primary evaluation methods for accuracy: distance measurement, occlusal contact analysis, and deviation analysis; however, direct comparisons across studies are complicated due to differing methodologies.
- Factors impacting the accuracy of virtual interocclusal records, such as scan range and positioning of records, remain uncertain and vary based on specific conditions, suggesting that using multiple evaluation methods could lead to a more comprehensive understanding of accuracy.
