Regardless of whether dental treatment is conducted by a single practitioner or a team of specialists, the aim and prerequisite for long-term therapeutic success involve rehabilitating the functions of the masticatory system, taking into account the orthopedic, stable position of the temporomandibular joints. The emergence of new digital instruments for occlusal analysis makes them considerably easier to use and provides significantly more diagnostic information compared to analog methods, such as analog axiography. Digital data also allow the reproduction of jaw movements one-to-one in a virtual environment, where prosthetic reconstructions are designed. However, regardless of the technology, the perennial dilemma remains – what do we record? Do we truly record the stable and repeatable position of the jaw, or the habitual one, in which the functioning masticatory system is destined for progressive degradation.
