Application of Tekscan in Pediatric Dentistry: A Review

Abstract

This chapter highlights a general overview of the T-scan technology and discuss its potential applications in paediatric dentistry. Technology developments have ushered in a new era in medicine. For excellent clinical dentistry practice, occlusion knowledge is essential. The Tekscan can give the dentist an almost instantaneous evaluation of the patient's interdental forces, which can reveal abnormalities connected to forces. The right occlusion has been evaluated using a variety of techniques. T-Scan is now more widely used to capture the occlusion pattern. Precision recording is a feature, but it has a few restrictions that make it difficult to use. The hardware has allegedly undergone constant improvements from T-Scan I to T-Scan 8, although this still has to be confirmed in follow-up investigations.
