Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of temporary hydrostatic splint on occlusion with computerized occlusal analysis system. Maximal bite force was recorded in intercuspal position by use of computerized occlusal analysis system from 11 female, 9 male, 20 subjects, (average age of 20) with normal intact dentitions. Subjects were instructed to use the hydrostatic splint for 24 h. Occlusal records were repeated three times before and after splint. All recordings were evaluated to determine the repeatability of the computerized occlusal analysis system. Hydrostatic splint increased maximum biting force. Relative percentage of left and right bite forces changed in the direction of neurophysiological position of the muscles. Hydrostatic splint can be a viable option for occlusal adjustments.
