[Is the T-scan system a relevant diagnostic method for occlusal control?].

Abstract

The T-Scan system has recently been introduced to the market as a computer-aided device for direct monitoring and documentation of individual occlusal patterns. To receive first assessments of diagnostic relevance of this method, sensitivity and planar resolution capacities of the T-Scan system was tested in an in-vitro study, that showed a lack in the resolution capacity and an excessive variation in sensor sensitivity. Therefore the clinical use of the system is very limited.
