Context: Dental researchers are contradictory in their opinion on the role of occlusion in TMD. Occlusal evaluation of both conventional and digital methods in TMD patients will provide the accurate information about the factors accountable for occlusal instability. Identifying the factors responsible will facilitate precise diagnosis and treatment for TMD.

Aim: The Aim of the study was to determine the dynamic occlusal parameters strongly associated with the etiology of Temporomandibular disorders.

Material and Methods: Study group consisted of 100 patients; it included 50 patients with normal TMJ (Group I) and remaining 50 patients had a minimum of one positive sign or symptom of Temporomandibular disorder (GroupII). The patient’s dynamic occlusal contacts were evaluated by both conventional and digital methods. The Articulating paper was utilized for conventional occlusion analysis. During conventional …
