General Occlusion Evaluation with the T-Scan® III
Progressive dentists worldwide are using the T-Scan III Computerized Occlusal Analysis system as part of
overall dental evaluations. The T-Scan collects occlusal contact time and force data you can combine with
periodontal charting, full mouth radiographic exams, and clinical hard tissue exams to provide a complete
assessment of your patient's oral health.
- Only T-Scan graphically illustrates both occlusal force and time.
- Use the T-Scan to get a recording of occlusal contact data.
- Just look at what you can find out in minutes with the T-Scan III:
|
1. Manipulated Centric Relation bite recording - check for CR prematurities |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
These BEFORE and AFTER frames from the T-Scan "force movies" are CR bite recordings. This
allows you to check for CR prematurities and adjust until CR=CO.
The resulting "force movie" shows tooth contacts (shown here in 3-D view), where forces are identified
by bar height and color.
|
2. MIP / Centric Occlusion recording - check for prematurities & unbalanced bite |
|
Problematic MIP Closure in 2-D forces
off-center to right
|
|
Healthy MIP Closure- forces centered;
straight path of closure
|
Here we record a habitual closure into IP (Intercuspated
Position) before and after adjustments (in 2-D view).
Notice how T-Scan's red "Center of Force" (COF) icon
pinpoints the balance of occlusal forces. The BEFORE frame
shows premature loading on the anterior right and overall
excessive forces on the right side.
Adjust until your patient's COF is in the center of the arch,
showing bilateral simultaneous loading with a well-balanced
left-to-right bite (AFTER).
|
3. Lateral Excursion recording - check for interferences |
The T-Scan makes it easy to see interferences, their locations, and their force levels. This takes the guesswork out of adjusting. Record
again to verify if and when proper anterior guidance has been achieved.
