Excess Occlusal Forces ~ T-Scan


All known public research on articulating paper consistently shows that articulating paper marks do not predictably measure the force or time-sequence of occlusal contacts accurately. Today we need a diagnostic device that can realiably determine occlusal force concentrations and contact time prematurities.

The T-Scan system is the only diagnostic device on the market that measures occlusal contact force and occlusal contact sequence. Objective data sets T-Scan apart from traditional occlusal indicators. The invaluable information it provides helps to easily diagnose and assess the balance of a patient's bite. The T-Scan illustrates the forces from first contact through closure, allowing the dentist to prevent general occlusal problems such as pain, gum disease, broken restorations, tooth loss, headaches and TMJ disorder.

The T-Scan system was recently selected by the Pride Institute for the "Best of Class" technology award in the diagnostic category. The T-Scan has proven to be so useful and accurate that many of the leading dental institutes are incorporating the system into their curriculum.
