T-Scan Found to Be Highly Accurate in Recent Study

Precision of an Instrumentation-based Method of Analyzing Occlusion and its Resulting Distribution of Forces in the Dental Arch was recently published in the Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics by Dr. Bernd Koos, an experienced T-Scan® user in Germany.

Precision of an Instrumentation-based Method of Analyzing Occlusion and its Resulting Distribution of Forces in the Dental Arch

In practice, analysis of occlusion is reduced to depicting it with color-marking foils. Precise analysis that incorporates time resolution and plots the distribution of forces within the occlusion is not possible in the everyday clinical situation with the usual methods. T-Scan III is a computer-assisted dental occlusion analyzer that depicts occlusion by means of pressure-sensitive foils. The aim of our study was to test the accuracy and reliability of this method.

This study concludes that 95% of the time, the T-Scan system produces a measurement that is within 2% of the true value. Also, repeat measurements produce very close values (within 2.8%), 95% of the time. Learn more about the T-Scan Occlusal Analysis System.
