Occlusion and Muscle Function

The T-Scan™/BioEMG Integration software synchronizes  the clinical data of T-Scan with the electromyographic data of BioResearch's EMG unit. Together, they give a complete view of your patient’s bite, and are used in treatment applications such as DTR therapy.

BioEMG measures muscular functions of the head and neck while the T-Scan shows occlusal contact timing and force distribution of teeth.

This synchronization provides unparalleled evidence of what effect the occlusal contact arrangement is having on muscle function

Features and Benefits

With both T-Scan and BioEMG programs activated:

• Initiate a recording in T-Scan automatically starts an EMG recording or vice versa
• Timing of data is synchronized in both the record & review modes
• The recording functions are the same as when using either program independently
• Saving data in one program auto-saves in the corresponding program
• Patient files are auto-labeled to identify integrated files
• Synchronized data can be taken in intercuspal position (IP), centric relation (CR), and excursive movements
• Save valuable time collecting and retrieving data
• Accomplish a more comprehensive and informative diagnosis
• Analyze and correlate specific occlusal moments to specific EMG changes that result from occlusal moments
