Introduction

This manual describes how to use Tekscan’s T-Scan™ system. T-Scan is a reliable and easy-to-use tool

that senses and aids in analyzing occlusal contact forces using paper-thin, disposable sensors. The T-

Scan system comes with a full-featured Patient File Management system, which makes storing patient

records and tracking occlusal scans simple, and makes the system an integral component of the clinical

workstation for aiding in occlusal diagnosis and treatment.

The T-Scan Occlusal Analysis system can be incorporated into your office in the following ways:

•Hygiene

•Initial Patient Exam

•Identify Premature Contacts

•Achieve Bilateral Simultaneity

•Anytime you use Articulation Paper

•Increase Implant Longevity

•Establish Anterior Guidance

•Case Finishing

•Patient Education/Documentation

03-16-18 T-Scan 10.0x User Manual (Rev W) 6

The T-Scan system is a valuable tool that aids in the diagnostic process of analyzing a patient's bite and

showing what is and what is not functioning properly. When a bite is unstable it can cause pain, teeth

and dental restorations to crack and break, gum disease, tooth loss, headaches, and TMJ Disorder.

The T-Scan software offers features that allow the user to:

•Scan the patient’s occlusal contact data

•View the patient’s tooth contacts and associate them with specific teeth

•Analyze the data, with force & time relationships of contacts displayed as color contour images

•Manage patient records and scan files through the use of an intuitive database

The T-Scan system is comprised of the Microsoft (MS) Windows-based T-Scan software, the associated

hardware, and patented Tekscan sensors. The system’s versatility allows you to copy occlusal contact

data (as an image) and paste it into other Windows applications, or to create a PDF report that can be

printed or sent out via email.

This manual provides a thorough description of the system’s features and capabilities. Follow the Quick

Start section as a guideline, and refer to specific sections for more detailed instructions on how to use

each feature.
