Popis: BACKGROUND Some occlusal detection products are designed for use on dry teeth, but this is not always achieved. Others are suited for dry and wet applications. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to assess the combined effects, on occlusal contact forces, of two previously studied affecting variables-occlusal detection products and saliva. METHODS We used a full-arch dentiform with three occlusal detection products (an articulating film, an articulation paper and T-Scan) in combination with human (HS) and an artificial saliva. The maxillary arch assembly, weighing ~54 N (the maximum bite force), was lowered onto (occlusion) and lifted off (disclusion) of the mandibular arch through 10 cycles by a mechanical testing machine. The forces and moments acting on the mandibular arch were continuously recorded by a load cell that supported it. RESULTS The maximum values of Flateral (the in-occlusal plane component of the occlusal contact force) were analysed by occlusion/disclusion separately using one-way ANOVA, with factor for group type to identify the significant effect of salivas on products, effect of products, effect of salivas with products, effect of human saliva. A difference in occlusion and/or in disclusion was considered different. Statistical differences (P
