Tekscan cut its teeth
in the world of dentistry.
In
1987, Tekscan developed T-Scan®,
the first ever grid-based sensor technology
specifically designed for occlusal analysis.
Tekscan created this powerful diagnostic tool
in response to the needs of dentists seeking
an accurate way to dynamically measure
occlusion.
Today, after numerous enhancements,
the T-Scan II
is the only solution available on
the market
to offer instantaneous occlusal data,
including
timing and force. By using this type
of
valuable information, dentists
around the world are providing
better quality treatment.

Closing the Gap on Occlusion
For years, dental occlusion had
been largely a matter of guesswork for dentists. Articulation
papermarks, waxes, pressure indicator paste, etc. were the only
tools available to assess and balance the forces of the bite. These
methods do not detect simultaneous contact, nor do they quantify
time and force. This gap led Tekscan to develop technology, which
provides data that allows dentists to better evaluate and assess
occlusion.
With articulation marks, there is no scientific
correlation between the depth of the color of the mark, its surface
area, amount of force, or the contact timing sequence that results
as that paper mark is made. Note in the clinical examples that the
quality of the paper marks offers no hint as to the order of the
contacts or the force contained within them. The T-Scan II Occlusal
Analysis system quickly and precisely determines the amount of force
within a given paper mark. The software graphically displays both
forceful and time premature contacts to the user for predictable
occlusal control during adjustment procedure.
T-Scan Brings Science To the Art of Occlusion
T-Scan II raises the bar for
occlusal analysis by
employing patented grid-based sensor technology. The ultra-thin,
reusable sensor, shaped to fit the dental arch, inserts into the
sensor handle, which connects into the USB port of your PC. The
software’s vivid graphics (2-D,
3-D, force vs. time graph) display tooth contact data
instantaneously and accurately, highlighting each tooth and the
force level exerted on that tooth during occlusion. With this data,
visualizing and achieving the balance of the perfect bite is easy to
accomplish. The ultra-light design of the T-Scan II makes it easy to
move from one operatory to another. Its sensors are durable,
accurate, and can be reused multiple times for the same patient. The
easy-to-use, intuitive software comes equipped with adjustable
settings, which help yield precise measurements. Moreover, the
database integration capabilities of the T-Scan II enhance clinical
outcomes and simplify patient file management.

Simply the Best Solution for Your Practice.
Evaluating occlusal forces is as simple as having a patient bite
down on the ultra-thin sensor. The sensor sends real-time occlusal
contact and force information to WindowsTM based software, which
measures intraoral force in time increments as low as .01 seconds.
This information is displayed in two and three dimensions as a
continuous force “movie” of the entire occlusal contact event
recorded. Because the T-Scan II can measure force over time, it is
an indispensable tool for evaluating the sequential relationships of
a mandibular excursion. You can view a patient sliding from MIP or
CR position into a lateral excursion on your computer screen. 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. After recording a
dental occlusion movie, you can store the data in your computer and
retrieve it as needed. Occlusal data can be transferred into other
documents for patient records or insurance reports. These same
images can be used to raise your patient education to the next
level. In fact, many dentists rave that their patients are
fascinated and impressed when they see for themselves the
improvements that were made to their bite using the T-Scan II in
just a few visits.

Sensor History
Since its original release in 1987, Tekscan has continued to improve
the sensor design to ensure the most accurate and reliable data.
Today, Tekscan is pleased to offer the 4th generation sensor.
• The sensor is so thin and
flexible it does not interfere
with the natural bite.
• Sensors are more durable
than ever!
• The disposable sensor can
be used for 15-25 recordings
per patient.
• Sensors have unlimited
shelf-life – you can use them
when you need them.
