Abstract

Since its inception in 1984, Computerized Occlusal Analysis technology has revolutionized both dental Occlusal Science and daily clinical practice, by bringing objective precision measurement to the largely subjectively analyzed Dental Medicine discipline of Occlusion. The development of this technology has required much iteration over the past 30 years beginning with T-Scan I, then T-Scan II for Windows®, then T-Scan III with Turbo recording, to a simplified desktop version introduced in T-Scan 8, to the present-day, state-of-the-art occlusal analysis version known as T-Scan 10. Numerous authors since the mid-1980s have studied the various T-Scan versions, which inspired the manufacturer to improve the hardware and its recording sensors to be more accurate, repeatable, and precise. The present day Novus recording handle represents a major ergonomic and functional upgrade over the Evolution handle that was used up to T-Scan 8, while the T-Scan 9 software has evolved into T-Scan software Version 10, which includes many new high-tech measurement tools like the Digital Impression Overlay (DIO), the Sensitivity Wizard, the Implant Warning feature, and the Force Eraser tool. All of these new system modifications improve the clinician's ability to diagnose and treat a wide range of occlusal abnormalities. Chapter One's Specific Aims are to detail the evolution of the differing T-Scan system versions, while describing the many scientific studies that inspired important system improvements to the T-Scan's accuracy and repeatability, from version to version.
