The function of the masticatory apparatus is complete when the dentition is intact with contact between the individual teeth and proper occlusion with the antagonists. For years, occlusal contacts have been studied to determine their exact location and describing various materials and methods for their registration such as paper foil, silk, and Shimstock foil. For years, occlusal contacts have been studied to determine their exact location and describe various materials and methods for their registration such as paper foil, silk, shim stock foil, the T\u2010Scan system, and more recently the OccluSense system. The primary aim of the study was at evaluating which of the occlusal indicators is the most commonly used in practice, and the secondary aim was whether dentists are willing to use digital methods to examine occlusion. <jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. The main primary information of the survey was collected by sending electronically anonymous questionnaires to 2014 dentists, randomly selected from all regions of the country. 228 questionnaires were filled in and returned. To achieve the goal of the study, the self\u2010developed questionnaire was created and tested to survey the opinion about the use of occlusal indicators in dental practice. Each questionnaire contains questions about the sociodemographic and professional status of the people in the group and their opinion about the positives and negatives and the effectiveness of occlusal indicators. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The obtained results confirm the statement that the most frequently used occlusal indicator in dental practice is the articulation paper. Articulation foil and silk are used less frequently than articulation paper. Of the listed quality indicators, Shimstock foil is rarely used in practice. Of the indicated quantitative indicators, the T\u2010Scan system is more used than the OccluSense system. In the era of rapid technology development, the opinion and desire of dentists to increasingly want to introduce in their clinical practice quantitative methods are the digital diagnosis of occlusion. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. In any dental practice, if technically possible, digital methods would be used, giving more accurate and reliable data on the registered occlusal contacts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/2177385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]],"date-time":"2021-11-03T19:20:07Z","timestamp":1635967207000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Occlusal Indicators Used in Dental Practice: A Survey Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6905-239X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tanya","family":"Bozhkova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nina","family":"Musurlieva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0235-5481","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diyan","family":"Slavchev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5646-0167","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariana","family":"Dimitrova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2904-7270","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sevda","family":"Rimalovska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.4801151"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3913(90)90180-K"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","first-page":"99","article-title":"Phenomenon of domination of the strongest contacts in centric occlusion","volume":"39","author":"Filtchev A.","year":"2008","journal-title":"Quintessence International"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","first-page":"112","article-title":"Seven signs and symptoms of occlusal disease: the key to an easy diagnosis","volume":"28","author":"Ruiz J.
