T-Scan® III: Dental Occlusal Analysis System
Shop Now
For years, dental occlusal analysis 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 occlusal forces. 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.
Now available: T-Scan III with Version 6.0 Software!

T-Scan III is a reliable and easy-to-use clinical diagnostic device that
senses and analyzes occlusal contact forces using paper-thin, disposable sensors. The
T-Scan III system comes with a full-featured Patient File Management system, which
makes storing patient records and tracking occlusal recordings simple, and makes
the system an integral component of the clinical workstation for occlusal diagnosis
and treatment.

The T-Scan system is a valuable tool that aids in the diagnostic process of analyzing
a patient's bite and showing what is and what is not functioning properly. When a
bite is unstable it can cause pain, teeth and dental restorations to crack and break,
gum disease, tooth loss, headaches, and TMJ Disorder.

Making Dental Occlusal Analysis 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."
