Title: Analyzing dental occlusion for implants: Tekscan's TScan III. Author: Garg AK. Journal: Dent Implantol Update; 2007 Sep; 18(9):65-70. PubMed ID: 17944069. Abstract: Though no single, specific occlusal pattern has been developed that is ideal for oral implantology, research suggests some general criteria for deciding on a particular occlusal pattern that will help reduce cuspal interferences and lessen horizontal or lateral forces on the fixtures. Anticipated occlusal and chewing forces need to be taken under consideration for any implant-supported prosthesis. In addition, opposing dentition, as well as potential parafunctional mandibular movements, should be noted. Tekscan's T-Scan Occlusal Analysis System can help clinicians meet the needs of their patients for reliable measurements of occlusal biting forces. The T-Scan III System is Tekscan's most recent attempt to help dental clinicians obtain consistent and useful occlusal data for the placement, analysis, and repair of dental implants.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
