*T-Scan Occlusal Analysis* 

One of our newest and most exciting technologies is the T-Scan Computerized 
Occlusal Analysis System. This powerful diagnostic tool allows Dr. Tebay to 
accurately measure occlusal timing and force. 

*What can the T-Scan determine and help to avoid? * 

For years, dental occlusion has been largely a matter of guesswork for 
dentists. Articulations paper, waxes, pressure indicator paste, etc., were 
all the dentist had to assess and balance the forces of occlusion. Most of 
these methods are not sensitive enough to detect simultaneous contact, and 
none measure both biting time and force. The T-Scan occlusal analyzer has 
met this challenge, and we are now able to effectively reduce the risk of: 
· Implant failure 
· Traumatized teeth 
· Severe gum recession 
· Tooth notching 
· TMJ discomfort 
· Unstable splints 
· Porcelain failure 
· Fractured teeth 

*How does the T-Scan work?* 

The heart of T-Scan technology is a disposable, extremely thin, flexible 
sensor. By biting and chewing against the sensor, a three-dimensional view 
of your bite is displayed on our computer screen. We can then easily adjust 
the bite and the sensor. The process is repeated until the biting forces 
are equalized.
