Tekscan Digital Occlusion Analysis System
Raising the Bar in Dental Care by Revealing Occlusal Dynamics
Tekscan is the creator and innovator of T-Scan®, dentistry’s only clinically recognized and research-validated digital occlusion analysis system.
T-Scan provides dynamic occlusal measurement—revealing the level and timing of force on individual teeth and the occlusal stability of the overall bite—bringing articulating paper marks to life. With T-Scan, you can visualize and treat destructive forces before they become a problem, yielding better patient outcomes. An objective assessment aid, T-Scan enhances patient education, satisfaction, and retention, reduces non-compensated repeat visits and remakes, and enables a more confident, proactive approach to patient care.
See Occlusion Data
Clinicians and hygiene staff can take bite scans of patients and communicate their issues from the data shown on-screen. With the optional ability to import intraoral scans, T-Scan makes it easy to pinpoint occlusion problems directly on the dentition.
Educate Your Patients
Connect the dots between the patient’s “feel” and their true occlusal force profile. Make more informed decisions and diagnoses. Patients see their arch model on-screen and understand why there is need for treatment. Case accepted.
Maximize Your Revenue
T-Scan is a tool that can help reduce fracture rates, prevent remakes, and reduce unpaid visits. Patients invest in treatment when they are confident that their dentist has the tools to get the best results.
T-Scan Brings Paper Marks to Life, Revealing Real-time Bite Force Dynamics
Articulating paper shows where contact is made, but not when and with how much force. T-Scan is the only technology that shows the measured force and the timing of occlusal surfaces coming together. A frame-by-frame movie of occluding teeth allows clinicians to identify problematic contacts that could damage dental work or contribute to pain, sensitivity, and periodontal or TMD issues. 94% of dentists struggle to pinpoint occlusion using articulating paper alone.*

Finally, Data. Use T-Scan to help:
- Ensure implants aren’t loading early
- Protect crowns, bridges, and veneers from high forces
- Equilibrate occlusion for full mouth reconstruction
- Screen new patients for baseline occlusion
- Monitor occlusion throughout orthodontic treatment
- Balance orthotics and splints
- Diagnose TMD issues
- Prevent denture rocking
