Evaluation of occlusal contacts in maximum intercuspation using the T-Scan system.
TLDR
The T-Scan system has proved to be a reliable method for the analysis and evaluation of occlusal contact distribution in maximum intercuspation and variability between subjects is greater than variability within subjects.Abstract:
summary Different authors have questioned the reliability of the T-Scan system as a method for registering occlusal contacts. The number of tooth contacts resulting from four bites made in maximum intercuspation was analysed with T-Scan using time moment statistics. The results indicate that (1) the largest number of contacts occur in the molar region (2) variability between subjects is greater than variability within subjects, and (3) it is possible to identify the subject being tested in 90.3% of cases. The T-Scan system has proved to be a reliable method for the analysis and evaluation of occlusal contact distribution in maximum intercuspation.read more

TL;DR: Within the limits of this study, occlusal contacts calculated from aligned virtual casts accurately reproduce articulator contacts accurately reproduce chewing dysfunction.

A force reproduction analysis of two recording sensors of a computerized occlusal analysis system.
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to measure the performance of a new design of occlusal sensor, the high definition (HD) sensor, and directly compare this sensor to the previous design, and find the within sensor variability of the HD sensor was significantly less than that of the G3 sensor.

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.

Mandibular elevator muscles: physiology, action, and effect of dental occlusion
TL;DR: Observational evidence of receptor activity and reflex interaction with the basic motor programs of craniomandibular muscles tends to indicate that the peripheral occlusal control of the elevator muscles is provided by feedback from periodontal pressoreceptors, which enables the masticatory system to meet its functional demands.

Distribution of occlusal contacts in maximum intercuspation
TL;DR: Because of the rapid and accurate ability of the T-Scan system to identify the distribution of the tooth contacts, it shows great promise as a clinical diagnostic screening device for occlusion.
