  • Title: [Computer assisted occlusal diagnosis in complete dentures].
    Author: Walter M, Tomomatsu M.
    Journal: ZWR; 1990 Dec; 99(12):966-8. PubMed ID: 2100450.
    Abstract:
    The T-Scan system for computerized occlusal diagnosis was tested in laboratory and clinical experiments. The lowest force level producing a display was approximately 1 N when loading the sensor by a rod with a diameter of 0.5 mm. The sensitivity depended considerably on the position of the testing point on the sensor. In the clinical study contacts in intercuspal position were evaluated as well as the possibility to identify artificial premature contacts. After remounting experiments were carried out in the articulator and in patient's mouth. The results lead to the conclusion that the use of the T-Scan system in complete dentures is limited to the rough evaluation of the occlusal situation.
