Case Report: Digital analysis of occlusion with T-Scan Novus in occlusal splint treatment for a patient with bruxism.

Bruxism is a disease with a multifactorial etiology. Its clinical manifestations are most often an unaesthetic smile with abraded tooth surfaces, temporomandibular disorders and muscle hyperactivity. Here we present a case of bruxism where proper articulation of the occlusal splint was performed using the T-scan Novus system.

T-Scan Novus System in the Management of Splints-Pilot Study.

The purpose of this pilot study was to demonstrate the capabilities of the T-Scan Novus system in bruxism treatment by splints. Bruxism patients underwent treatment with a splint made by additive manufacturing. Intraoral scanning was performed using Trios Color (3Shape), and digital design was performed using 3Shape Dental system design - splint studio.

Occlusal Indicators Used in Dental Practice: A Survey Study.

Introduction: The function of the masticatory apparatus is complete when the dentition is intact with contact between the individual teeth and proper occlusion with the antagonists. For years, occlusal contacts have been studied to determine their exact location and describing various materials and methods for their registration such as paper foil, silk, and Shimstock foil. For years, occlusal contacts have been studied to determine their exact location and describe various materials and methods for their registration such as paper foil, silk, shim stock foil, the T-Scan system, and more recently the OccluSense system.

Comparative Study Qualitative and Quantitative Techniques in the Study of Occlusion.

Introduction: The wide variety of methods for recording occlusal contacts and the contradictory data on the interpretation of the obtained markings provoked us to make a comparative laboratory study between different occlusal indicators.

Purpose: Evaluation of a qualitative and quantitative method for registration of occlusal contacts in static occlusion in laboratory conditions.

Materials And Methods: In completion of the objective, we designed an apparatus for registration of the occlusal contacts (AROC) in static occlusion which is used, corresponding to the MIP in clinical conditions.

Occlusion and disocclusion time analysis in young patients affected by bruxism.

Introduction: Bruxism is an involuntary parafunctional habit performed unconsciously during sleep by the jaw muscles in which the tooth rows are pressed against each other and move horizontally. The symptoms in the oral cavity are slightly elusive which makes it difficult to diagnose.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the occlusion and disocclusion times in young adults affected by bruxism compared with healthy subjects.

Comparative Study of Occlusal Contact Marking Indicators.

Background: A variety of indicators to register occlusal contacts are used in the daily dental practice. One of the most frequently used qualitative occlusal indicators is the articulating paper. Its reliability is often disputed because this indicator could produce false positive results or fail to register any occlusal contacts.

The T-SCAN System in Evaluating Occlusal Contacts.

Background: Normal occlusal and articulation relations between the jaws ensure equal distribution of occlusal forces during mastication. A T-SCAN system allows these relations to be measured dynamically during the articulation cycle.

Aim: To evaluate the T-SCAN III system in measuring and assessing the forces of occlusal contacts and their digital presentation.
