Traditional articulating papers, a mainstay in occlusal analysis, often exhibit limitations in consistency and difficulty with quantitative data analysis. This study explores the development of novel articulating papers utilizing advanced polymeric materials. These novel papers aim to address the shortcomings of traditional options by potentially improving: (1) sensitivity and resolution for capturing occlusal contacts, (2) consistency and reproducibility of contact readings, and (3) durability and reusability. The successful development of such polymeric articulating papers could offer significant advantages for dentists by providing a more reliable and quantitative tool for occlusal analysis, ultimately contributing to improved diagnosis and treatment planning of occlusal disorders. This study is further aimed to evaluate and compare the reproducibility of five different articulating papers and the T-Scan Occlusal Analysis System in assessing occlusal contacts. Occlusal analysis plays a 2 crucial role in diagnosing and managing occlusal disorders in dentistry, and reliable assessment tools are essential for accurate treatment planning. Five commonly used articulating papers with varying thicknesses and sensitivities were selected, along with the T-Scan system, which offers digital occlusal analysis. A series of occlusal contacts were recorded using each method on a standardized dental model. The reproducibility of occlusal contact recordings was assessed by repeating measurements multiple times. Results indicated significant differences in reproducibility among the different articulating papers and the T-Scan system. Understanding the reproducibility of occlusal analysis tools is vital for clinicians to make informed decisions regarding their selection and use in clinical practice.
