Now available: T-Scan III with Version 5.0 Software!
The new T-Scan III includes new hardware, which samples at a consistent rate of 100Hz.
This fixed sampling rate means that each frame of a T-Scan movie is always equal to .01 seconds.
The result is a more consistent replay of data and the COF trajectory segments represented in .01
second increments vs. a variable time frame with the USB handle.
Take a quick look at how the T-Scan III
can improve your practice. (Viewing requires Adobe Flash)

Easy to Use - Easy to Interpret!
The T-Scan III plugs right into the USB port of your Windows based PC or laptop.
Vivid graphics makes seeing the balance of the perfect
bite easy to determine and adjust. Data can be printed to provide valuable documentation for patient
files, patient education or insurance documentation.
T-Scan III also includes new T-Scan software - version 5.0. This software incorporates many ease of use ideas
gathered from experience with users, streamlines data collection and improves data presentation, so customers
spend less time collecting and analyzing data and more time applying the information and discussing the results
with their patients.

Making Dental Occlusion a Science
New evidence suggests dentists have been suffering from F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real) when it comes to occlusion.
In new research undertaken at the University of Alberta by Carey JP,
Craig M, Kerstein RB, and Radke J, the following conclusion is drawn:
"No direct relationship between paper mark area and applied load could be found. When selecting teeth to adjust, an operator
should not assume the size of paper markings can accurately describe the markings' occlusal contact force content."

Articulation Paper Marks
For years, dental occlusion had been largely a matter of
guesswork for dentists. Articulation paper, waxes, pressure indicator
paste, etc. were all dentists had to assess and balance the forces of
occlusion. Most
of these methods are not sensitive enough to detect simultaneous contact,
and none measure both biting time and force. Tekscan met the challenge by
developing the T-Scan system. T-Scan's grid-based sensor technology proved so successful
that Tekscan has applied the same technology to hundreds of other applications, forming Tekscan's Medical and
Industrial divisions.
