TEK Scan

What is Tek Scan :

T-Scan is a digital occlusal analysis system consisting of a patented sensor, USB-based handle, and proprietary software that reveals the level and timing of force on individual teeth and the stability of the patient’s bite.

When used in conjunction with articulating paper, T-Scan’s precise, actionable data gives the dentist, the ability to diagnose and treat occlusion accurately.

The 2D and 3D representations of their bite can be viewed by the patient with T-Scan software, which helps them to visualize the occlusion and feel more confident in the  treatment that follows. This state-of- the-art, digital software helps clinicians to identify premature contacts, high forces, and interrelationship of occlusal surfaces. ​

How T Scan Works-

1. A dentist will analyse the overall oral hygiene, condition of the teeth and related areas
2. A proper history and chief complaint is taken
3. Analysis of occlusion is done by T-Scan. This may be done in stages, with occlusal being done after each stage.
4. Further treatment planning is done after visualizing the problem by T Scan

Treatment Modalities – The next step would be to treat the underlying Cause of discomfort. This may be achieved by any one or more than one options given below-

• Counselling and guiding the patient to achieve correct bite
• Simple grinding and adjustments are done to balance the occlusion
• Oral Rehabilitation
• Orthodontic Appliances like Splints and Nightguards
• Prescribing Exercises
• Surgical Procedures (in advanced cases of degradation)

Dr.Deepak, an International Fellow of DTR and Digital Occlusion, has been dedicating himself in diagnosing and treating patients with a migraine, head and neck pain, TMJ discomfort etc. At TnSS, we boast of being the only one in Rajasthan to be using this sophisticated technology of Tek Scan.
