“…Although T‐scan was designed to analyze the occlusal contact distribution with regard to biting pressure, it can also be used to assess the OCA objectively for research purposes. In the clinical setting, computerized occlusal analysis using T‐scan is straightforward, and is therefore recommended for assessing the quality of end results and minimizing occlusal imbalances in prosthodontic treatments or orthodontics . Thus, T‐scan may also be useful for assessing OCA in clinical practice.…”

“…Several new technologies have become available that can be used for occlusal assessment . T‐scan is a computerized technology that records the distribution of occlusal contacts in a time sequence, and it has been described in several studies . It provides a reliable estimation of the total occlusal force under laboratory conditions in consecutive measurements and can analyze the distribution of biting pressure within dental arches .…”

Purpose To determine the reliability of T‐scan and 3D intraoral scan techniques for assessing the occlusal contact area (OCA), compared to occlusal registration and also to assess the validity of the techniques. Materials and Methods Thirty‐one dentate adults participated in this cross‐sectional study. T‐scan records were used to measure the OCA at maximum bite force and at 50% of maximum force using the software's bite force selection tool. A second method measured the OCA between 2 virtual models scanned intraorally using a 3D surface scan and considering the occlusal contact at 2 interocclusal distances (0‐100 and 0‐200 µm). The third method measured OCA using occlusal registration at moderate and maximum occlusal force, and considering contact at the 2 interocclusal distances (0‐100 and 0‐200 µm). Images obtained using the 3 methods were analyzed using ImageJ software. Test‐retest reliability was assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and validity by Pearson correlations. Results ICCs ranged from 0.56 to 0.79 (p < 0.001) for the T‐scan; 0.37 to 0.61 (p < 0.05) for 3D surface scan; and 0.92 to 0.95 (p < 0.0005) for occlusal registration. The highest OCA values were obtained using the T‐scan, and the lowest using the 3D surface scan. Occlusal registration measurements had the highest correlations with those of the other techniques. Conclusions T‐scan is a reliable method for measuring the OCA, but the 3D surface scan is not. Occlusal registration showed a high validity.

“…An objective method to evaluate both static and dynamic dental occlusion is the T‐Scan (Tekscan Inc). The T‐Scan provides real‐time data for the accurate evaluation of several features of dental occlusion and removes the operators’ subjective perception of paper marks; in addition to that, T‐Scan measurements are not influenced by the presence of saliva 2,6,7,9‐11 …”

Different occlusal features can affect the number, the position and the magnitude of teeth contacts. 1,2 In turn, the contacts between the teeth can influence different aspects of both static and dynamic dental occlusion. 3 Measurement of occlusal balance and tooth contact is often unreliable. Qualitative occlusal measures are habitually used because they are inexpensive and feasible. They encompass articulating paper, articulating silk, articulating film, metallic shim stock film and high spot indicators. 4,5 The main limitations of the use

Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) is a stomatognathic system disturbance, which consists of pain, jaw movement irregularities, and muscle spasm. Hyperexcitation of peripheral sensory neurons causes a reaction of induction in the motor neuron and then spasms of the masticatory muscles follow. Long-term spasm causes muscular pain and irregular mandibular motion. Pain is the most important inducer and therefore must be managed firstly in order to manage the muscle spasms. Symptomatic treatment approaches may be useful, but after symptom elimination, etiologically based treatment must be provided to the patient. The neurophysiology of the stomatognathic system must be well understood to determine a proper treatment for the MPDS condition. Both symptomatic and etiological treatment methods have been proposed by differing authors as potential solutions for MPDS. Occlusal splints are a commonly used treatment for relieving MPDS symptoms. Alternatively, some forms of occlusal adjustment (not all) have been shown to be an effective, permanent treatment course for myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome. This chapter describes the neural controls over the stomatognathic system and how that system can neurologically promote the MPDS disease state. It then details the computer-guided MPDS occlusal adjustment treatment known as disclusion time reduction that has been shown in many published studies to be a highly effective myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) therapy.
