Comparative Assessment of the Accuracy of Digital Versus Conventional Interocclusal Records in Dentulous Patients: A Systematic Review.

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. This systematic review aims to compare digital interocclusal records with conventional interocclusal records by considering their respective quality, such as accuracy. A thorough search was conducted to gather relevant research from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. After evaluating the study's methodological quality assessment using NIH's Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies, two independent reviewers assessed the publications for inclusion and exclusion criteria. After a methodical search, a total of five relevant papers were reviewed. The review's primary finding was that digital interocclusal records were more accurate than conventional interocclusal records.
