2D View
The recorded data can be displayed in three ways. The first view is called "2D" which
shows the recorded data of the masticatory pressure by two dimensionally colored
squares
(Figure 39)
.

3D View
The second option is the three dimensional view, called “3D”
(Figure 40)
which shows
the data by using a bar diagram. The bars have different heights which represent the
occlusal pressure - the higher the bar the higher the pressure of the occlusal contact.
When calculating the masticatory pressure distribution, the ratio of individual contact
points with the surrounding areas as well as with all contact points of the entire dental
arch is taken into consideration. This includes the number of contact points as well as
the bite force.
The bars show a color gradient from green to yellow to red and imply the masticatory
pressure distribution in a certain area. A pin-point pressure is being displayed from red
to orange while a pressure on a larger surface area is being displayed from yellow to
green.
