TLDR
According to the evidence available, the computerized occlusal analysis system is the only Occlusal indicator that demonstrates the ability to provide quantifiable force and time variance in a real-time window from the initial tooth contact into maximum intercuspation.
Abstract
Background: All disciplines of dentistry require that clinicians assess the articulation of the teeth/prosthesis with respect to simultaneous contacts, bite force and timing.Aims: This article intends to describe the advantages and limitations of the data acquired when using a computerized occlusal analysis as a dynamic occlusal indicator.Methodology: A search of the literature was completed (Medline, PubMed) using the keywords occlusion, occlusal registration, computerized occlusal analysis and T-Scan for dental.Results: According to the evidence available, the computerized occlusal analysis system is the only occlusal indicator that demonstrates the ability to provide quantifiable force and time variance in a real-time window from the initial tooth contact into maximum intercuspation.Conclusion: The reported advantages to accurately indicate occlusal contacts make the computerized occlusal analysis system a better occlusal indicator when compared with other non-digital convention indicator mater...

Distinguishing predictive profiles for patient-based risk assessment and diagnostics of plaque induced, surgically and prosthetically triggered peri-implantitis

TL;DR: It can be concluded that plaque induced and prosthetically and surgically triggered peri-implantitis are different entities associated with distinguishing predictive profiles; hence, the appropriate causal treatment approach remains necessary.

Assessment of occlusion with the T-Scan system in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery

TL;DR: T-Scan is good for assessing occlusion discrepancies and can be used to portray the pre- and post-operative occlusal contact distribution during treatment planning and follow-up, and was better after surgery than before surgery.

Review—Lab-in-a-Mouth and Advanced Point-of-Care Sensing Systems: Detecting Bioinformation from the Oral Cavity and Saliva

TL;DR: The basic anatomy and physiology of important body cavities is introduced to understand their characteristics as it is a pivotal foundation for the successful development of in-mouth devices.

Comparison of excursive occlusal force parameters in post-orthodontic and non-orthodontic subjects using T-Scan® III

TL;DR: Significantly longer disclusion time, higher posterior frictional contacts, and more TMD symptoms were observed in the post-orthodontics group, suggesting that orthodontic treatment increases posterior tooth friction.

Biomaterials and biomechanics of oral and maxillofacial implants: current status and future developments.

TL;DR: Research in biomaterials and biomechanics has fueled a large part of the significant revolution associated with osseointegrated implants; however, several important questions still remain, and much of what is done now by clinicians remains empirical.

Functional occlusal forces: an investigation by telemetry.

TL;DR: There was a remarkable statistically significant day-to-day variation in force values, and the differences between maximum and minimum force values were highest in voluntary, nonfunctional movements.

Masticatory performance and areas of occlusal contact and near contact in subjects with normal occlusion and malocclusion.

TL;DR: ACNC are similar on the right and left sides; subjects with larger ACNC are better able to break down foods; and that subjects with malocclusions have smaller ACNC than those with normal occlusions.
