Comparison of the Centric Relation Recorded by Two Methods Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Tooth Loss
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Tooth Loss focused on measuring Cone-Beam computed tomography, the centric relation, the upper airway, mandibular position
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
absence of the mandibular position Classified as ASA 1 or 2 (normal healthy patient or with mild systemic disease, according to the American Society of Anaesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System); Absence of the symptoms and signs of the temporomandibular joint; Willing to participate and to sign a written informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
Cardiac pacemaker carriers and pregnant women; people with heart pace disorders and epilepsy; Temporomandibular or craniocervical disorders.

Experimental
Experimental
record the centric relation using the gothic tracing method
record the centric relation using the neuromuscular method
the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) were were determineded through facial appearance observation,thus,the patients were trained to execute bordering protrusive, retrusive and bilateral lateral-protrusive movements wearing the intraoral apparatus and a Gothic Arch Tracing was made, the apex of the Gothic Arch Tracing was defined as the gothic arch position.
the participant were subjected to a low-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) using the J5 Myotronics for 45 minutes,With the help of TENS, complete relaxation of the muscles were achieved and the mandibular musculature was induced to guide the mandible in the physiologic position,thus using K7 to track the physical mandibular positon which was defined as the neuromuscular position.
