T-Scan III computerized occlusal analysis

The T-Scan is a diagnostic device that records your patient's bite force dynamics, including occlusal force, location and timing. The device is compact in size, connects to a laptop or desktop computer and is easily moved between operatories. The patented sensor technology was developed at MIT and Tufts University. The ability to measure force over time makes the T-Scan an indispensable tool for appraising the sequential relationships of a mandibular excursion. You can view, on screen, a patient sliding from MIP or CR position into a lateral excursion. This is instrumental in locating occlusal interferences, determining the relative force on each interference, and evaluating the potential for trauma caused by the occlusal interferences. T-Scan benefits include:

• Valuable force and timing data
• Improve clinical results
• Differentiate your practice
• Take back control, no longer rely on patient feel
• Determine premature contacts
• Minimize destructive forces
• Excellent patient education tool
• Patients see their bite on screen
• Helps patients understand the need for treatment
• Decrease follow up appointments
