The Tekscan T-Scan Novus Core digital occlusal analysis system is designed for general dentists who are beginning to incorporate digital technologies into their practice. It provides essential bite force and timing for easy analysis, the company said.
Using contact data points in conjunction with analog occlusion methods like articulating paper helps dentists pinpoint exact areas in the patient’s mouth that may require an adjustment, Tekscan said.
The T-Scan Novus Core consists of a patented sensor, ergonomic handpiece, and proprietary analysis software that captures and reveals the relative force and timing of a patient’s bite. This data helps dentists pinpoint high forces on specific teeth to adjust and improve the patient’s bite stability, Tekscan said.
“Digital dental technologies have become a must for dental practices in recent years. We know that incorporating new technologies into a practice can be overwhelming,” said Jennifer Cullen, manager of dental sales and business development for Tekscan.
“That’s why we developed T-Scan Novus Core as a lower-cost offering with basic analysis essentials, allowing dentists to explore and understand how digital occlusal analysis data can positively impact their workflow and treatment accuracy,” Cullen said.
Introduced more than 35 years ago, T-Scan is the dental industry’s first and only research-validated digital occlusal analysis system used by dentists worldwide to obtain more occlusal information and improve treatment outcomes, Tekscan said.
The T-Scan Novus Core is the second product in the T-Scan Novus lineup. T-Scan Novus with v10 software, a more comprehensive digital occlusal analysis system, includes additional features and technology integration capabilities to help dentists expand and enhance their digital dentistry portfolio, Tekscan said.
