Positional influence of center of masticatory forces on occlusal contact forces using a digital occlusal analyzer

ConclusionsThe location of the center of contact force and its magnitude provided by a digital occlusal analyzer at the position of maximum intercuspation are not necessarily unique to each articulated dental cast. Even if the intensity of the masticatory force remains unchanged, changes in its lateral or longitudinal balance also influence the result of the occlusion forces.
