Consultant's Comments:
- T-Scan System brings a level of specificity to the process of occlusal analysis that I couldn't achieve with other available methods.
- Using T-Scan System was like putting loupes on for the first time - I saw what I had been missing.
- It gives a good idea of the intensity of a bite.
- Finds areas of heavy occlusion that are not marked with articulating paper.
- I will no longer treat full-mouth reconstruction cases without T-Scan System.
- Additional time and expense are required to properly take advantage of T-Scan System information.
- Designed to be used in conjunction with articulating paper.
Description:
The T-Scan System is an occlusal analysis system designed to measure and record relative biting forces over time. This 3rd-generation system includes intraoral sensors, scanning electronics (handle) and intuitive software. The mouth-shaped sensor fits into a sensor support that inserts into the sensor handle. The Evolution Handle connects into the USB port of a PC and is easily movable among operatories. The gt;T-Scan sensor is thin (100 μm) and is re-usable for up to 20 recordings on the same patient. The T-Scan 8 software is designed with an easy to-use interface and displays timing and force data in full-color 3D and 2D graphics. The T-Scan 8 software records and stores occlusal data in a patient database, while providing occlusal analysis features that allow dental professionals to determine first and last contact, the balance of occlusal contacts present at any given moment, and the ability to view multiple scans to compare bites. T-Scan 8 also has the ability to create reports on patient scans. The T-Scan System comes with an Evolution Handle with USB connector, T-Scan sensors (20 small and 20 large), T-Scan sensor supports (1 small and 1 large) and T-Scan 8 software. The equipment and software have a limited one year warranty and come with two free online training sessions. The T-Scan System was evaluated by seven consultants in over 100 uses. This occlusal analysis system received a 91% clinical rating and four and a half out of five pluses.
