Evaluation of the T-scan system in achieving functional masticatory balance.

Authors: Iavor S, Kalachev;

Evaluation of the T-scan system in achieving functional masticatory balance.

Abstract

Uniform occlusal load distribution over the two halves of the dentition is an important factor in achieving a balanced static and functional occlusion.To assess the capacity of the T-scan system in achieving functional masticatory balance using our own method for precise balancing of static and functional occlusal relations in fixed prostheses.The method was designed on the basis of test studies of the T-scan system and a computer program specially developed to measure the occlusal load on films recorded with the T-scan. We used the method to control the static and functional occlusal relationships in 22 patients with a total number of 65 fixed prostheses over a period of 6 years.The control records of occlusal contacts with the T-scan system in all 22 patients as well as the clinical follow-up examinations showed similar values of the occlusal load in the two halves of the dentition. The patients did not have any complaints or feel any discomfort with the prosthetic restorations.The results demonstrated the potential of the T-scan system for achieving functional masticatory balance. The method we designed is proposed as a method of choice if technical resources are available.
