Maxillomandibular relationship record methods for computer-engineered complete dentures: a scoping review

Anne Kaline Claudino Ribeiro et al. Clin Oral Investig. .

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this scoping review was to identify different methods employed for recording the maxillomandibular relationship (MMR) for computer-aided designed and manufactured (CAD-CAM) complete dentures (CDs).

Materials and methods: This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and was developed according to Arksey and O'Malley and The Joanna Briggs Institute protocol. The methods were registered on the Open Science Framework (< osf.io/rf4xm> ). The focus question was: "What are the different techniques for recording the maxillomandibular relationship in the digital workflow used in CECDs?" Two investigators searched 3 online databases [MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, and Science Direct] independently. The inclusion criteria were clinical studies and reviews that assessed techniques for recording MMR using digital workflow for manufacturing of CECDs. A descriptive analysis was performed considering the study design, manufacturing system, clinical steps, and tools for the determination of MMR, and the difficulty level of procedures.

Results: 4779 articles were identified in the electronic search and 10 studies were included for data analysis. The review identified 4 commercially available CAD-CAM denture systems and 3 innovative methods suitable for abbreviating the number of appointments (2 to 4 visits). The trial denture is inherent to the procedure for the Baltic System and 3 innovative techniques. Three techniques (2 innovative and WholeYouNexteeth) demonstrated lower difficulty levels for performing the clinical procedures, regardless of the professional skills.

Conclusions: The commercially available and innovative techniques for the recording of MMR may provide predictability of the treatment. The techniques are effective, however, rely on the learning curve and the patient's clinical condition.

Clinical relevance: Recording of the maxillomandibular relationship is paramount for the manufacturing and functionality of complete dentures. Clinicians should be aware of the different tools and techniques described for registering the jaw relationship.
