Abstract:
The aim of this review was to provide an update on the current status of digital occlusal force measurement devices,
as well as clinical and research applications in complete arch maximum occlusal force measurement. SCOPUS,
ScienceDirect, and PubMed databases were used to conduct a literature search from January 2001 to January 2021.
Identification and screening of literature were done independently according to published guidelines and selection
criteria. The electronic searches turned up 394 articles, 16 of which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and
were selected for study analysis. All of these studies used T-scan and Dental Prescale digital occlusal analysis system
with pressure-sensitive foils as occlusal force measurement devices. The devices showed a promising potential for
identifying and comprehending maximum occlusal forces objectively. According to the current review, maximum
occlusal force measured with digital occlusal force devices can be used as a prosthodontic adjunct to address issues
that arise during the treatment of occlusal disorders, temporomandibular disorders, and complete dentures. It is also
useful in predicting cognitive and functional decline in the elderly.
