Abstract:
Views on the reliability of the T-SCAN systems as a method for occlusal contact registration are contradictory. In this paper the tooth contacts of various patients in maximum intercuspation are analysed and their different bites compared using the time analysis mode of the T-SCAN. The findings show that within the same individual, no significant differences exist between the number of contacts on each tooth after four bites were performed in an MI position, except for teeth numbers 46, 44 and 41.
