T-Scan

The three primary issues that T-Scans solve for patients are:

1. Occlusal Imbalances:
T-Scans accurately identify occlusal imbalances, such as premature contacts or uneven bite forces, which can lead to discomfort, pain, and dental problems if left untreated.

2. Treatment Precision:
By providing detailed measurements of occlusal forces, T-Scans enable dentists to precisely diagnose and treat occlusal issues, resulting in more effective and targeted treatment plans.

3. Enhanced Comfort and Function:
T-Scans help optimize bite function and alignment, reducing the risk of complications and improving overall comfort and function for patients, leading to a better quality of life.

1. T-Scan was first introduced in 1984 by Dr. Robert B. Kerstein, a pioneer in dental occlusion analysis.

2. T-Scan stands for “Tactile” Scan, referring to its ability to measure the force distribution on individual teeth during biting and chewing.

3. It is considered one of the most advanced digital occlusal analysis systems available in dentistry.

4. T-Scan technology utilizes a thin, flexible sensor that patients bite down on to measure their bite forces.

5. The data collected by T-Scan helps dentists diagnose occlusal issues, such as uneven bite pressure or premature contacts, leading to more precise treatment planning.

6. T-Scan provides real-time, dynamic recordings of a patient’s occlusal forces, allowing for immediate adjustments and improvements in bite function.

7. Over the years, T-Scan has evolved to include advanced features like digital occlusal mapping and dynamic occlusal displays.

8. T-Scan technology has been widely adopted by dental professionals worldwide for its accuracy and effectiveness in improving patient care.
