The Dr. Phil Klein Dental Podcast · 2026-03-16 · 25 min
How many times have you delivered a crown that required extensive occlusal adjustment, leaving you wondering if there's a better way to predict how patients will actually function with their restorations? Dr. Mark Kleive, DDS, brings over 25 years of restorative expertise to this conversation. A distinguished graduate of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and Fellow of the American College of Dentists, Dr. Kleive serves as visiting faculty at the renowned Pankey Institute, where he teaches advanced concepts in comprehensive dental care and has become a leading voice in digital dentistry integration. This episode explores how jaw motion tracking technology is revolutionizing restorative dentistry by capturing real patient movement patterns and translating them into precise virtual articulators. Dr. Kleive demonstrates how this technology goes far beyond traditional face bow transfers and semi-adjustable articulators, which rely on straight-path condylar guidance and arbitrary measurements. Instead, jaw motion tracking records every boundary movement a patient can make, creating dynamic motion files that inform restoration design at the laboratory level.
