Fig. 1.

The occlusion stress representation at initial (left), middle (middle), and end (right) stage of the simulated contact and the representative T-scan occlusion recordings of the four defined dynamic tasks. The typical locations of the maximum stress are marked with red stars in each panel. a Centric closing; the image of the local sites with the highest values of the maximum stress were squared and magnified in panels α the bottom view, and β the top view. b the articulating papers measurements in centric occlusion. The occlusal imprints are scatter in distribution and slight in strength although the voluntary maximal effect was required. The blue and red imprints merged well as the arrows indicate. c The centric to protrusion; d Right-side lateral extension; e Left-side lateral extension. O, occlusion side; C, bottom side; L, lingual side; B, buccal side
