| Zarb’s Traditional Approach | DIM-BR Feature | |------------------------------|----------------| | Neutral zone recorded with soft wax + guesswork | Real-time pressure sensors + quantified muscle balance | | Static centric relation records | Dynamic closure path capture (multiple swallows, phonetics) | | Wax rim deformations are interpreted subjectively | Deformation + heat-locked “memory” → repeatable digital transfer | | Denture polished surfaces designed by technician’s eye | Surface contours driven by patient’s own functional pressures |
