Aim: This study addresses the crucial aspect of interocclusal bite registration records in dentistry, where precision is paramount for successful prosthetic outcomes. The background highlights the historical reliance on traditional plaster models and the persistent challenges of distortion during impression-taking. The objective is to explore the mechanical properties, specifically elasticity, of two materials – Dental Avue; AvueBite (addition silicone) and Aluwax (wax). Materials and methods: This study design, parameters, and outcomes were assessed by the Institutional Review Board at Saveetha Dental College (IHEC/SDC/PROSTHO-2102/23/245) keeping in mind the ethics and the universal code. A sample size was evaluated using the GPower Software (version 3.1.9) and the sample size was fixed at 25(1). Those patients were selected who required a fixed dental prosthesis as their final restoration. The inclusion criteria of this study would be key in determining the accuracy of the bite registration materials. The methods involve assessing a sample size at Saveetha Dental College and measuring intra-oral and extraoral distances from preparation to antagonist scans using the mentioned materials. Results: Statistical analysis, employing an independent sample t-test, indicates no significant differences between AvueBite and Aluwax, suggesting their comparable accuracy in capturing intricate occlusal details. There was no absolute difference in intra-oral distance from preparation to mesial and distal antagonist between the two groups. Extraoral distance from preparation to mesial and distal antagonist scan showed slight difference compared between the two groups but was statistically insignificant. Conclusion: The conclusion emphasizes the study's alignment with existing literature, underlining the critical role of accurate bite registrations, and provides valuable guidance for clinicians in material selection, highlighting the reliability of both AvueBite and Aluwax in achieving precise occlusal capture during restorative procedures.
