Occlusal Analysis
The T-scan II® computerized occlusal analysis system allows Dr. Steinberg to precisely analyze your bite and identify any damaging occlusal forces. The ability to measure the force of a patient's bite is critical when it comes to assessing oral health and the efficacy of prosthodontic treatment. An unbalanced bite can create excessive wear on dental prostheses and may result in bone loss or material failure.
The T-scan II collects occlusal contact data that you can see in clearly-defined graphics and printouts. This data can be combined with periodontal charting, X-ray and tissue exam data to provide a complete assessment of oral health. T-scan II is one of the best occlusal diagnostic tools available today.
Here's how T-scan II® works
As the patient bites on an ultra-thin sensor, the software renders a dynamic analysis of medial /lateral, and anterior /posterior balance. Improved sensitivity and superior arch model enables us to identify contact points on individual teeth and the relationship to all other tooth contacts. A balance indicator guides adjustments using simple, understandable graphic displays.
The T-scan II Occlusal Analysis System can also accurately detect forces on dental prostheses including fixed, fixed-removable dentures, complete removable dentures, bridges and even dental implants.
