Computer analysis of functional parameters and dental occlusion

The paper presents the modern device and methodology for computer occlusal analysis. The method allows clinical and experimental studies directly on the patients measuring occlusal parameters in static positions and during dynamic of the mandible. The advantages compared to other methods of occlusal analysis on articulated dental casts consist in elimination of the deficiencies caused by the impossibility of isolating Individual variables. T-Scan system is rapid and accurate in identifing the distribution of the tooth contacts; it shows great promise as a clinical diagnostic screening device for occlusion and for improving the occlusion after various dental treatments.
