Abstract

The author’s technique of instrumental precision diagnostics of the area offacets of increased erasure and erosion of hard tooth tissues is proposed. The aim of the study was to calculate the occlusal contact area in patients with tooth wear and in persons with a conditional norm (attrition by forces of normal mastication) with the help of occlusiograms (T-Scan) and Adobe Photoshop. We examined 13 patients with tooth wear and 20 persons with a conventional norm. We performed occlusiography with T-Scan, then processed the digital image of occlusal contacts using a special program, keeping the data in a single resolution. Prepared graphics were opened in the Adobe Photoshop program, scaled, calculated the number ofpixels in 1 mm2. Then, the total area of the facets of erasure was calculated taking into account the color indexation, which reflects the degree of intensity of the occlusal contacts.
