Summary

Bite testing using T-Scan allows the evaluation of occlusal contacts prior to making a bite adjustment. The T-Scan can indicate premature contact and the load distribution on teeth, and provide measurable force and time information that ensures proper occlusal adjustment.

Detailed description

Prior to employing T-Scan occlusal analyzer to assess the occlusion on the complete denture, complete denture was seated and checked for fitness, stability, pressure areas with pressure indicating paste and border evaluation and extension. The peripheral seal should be evident so that the denture-maintained suction against maxillary tissues. Upon completion of these fit and stability assessments, the occlusion could then be addressed. The method considered for the occlusal analysis was a computerized system . The system was composed of a computer with a specific board and software capable of converting information recorded by the sensor to visual and numerical information on tooth contact. For Tekscan system to function properly, computer system must meet or exceed specified system requirements. The Tekscan USB handle, does not require an additional interface card or parallel box in order tobe connected to computer. When inserted into computer, the computer's operating system will automatically detect and configure the hardware for use. The T-Scan sensor was an ultra-thin (.004", 0.1 mm), flexible printed circuit that detected the patient's occlusal parameters.
