The various methods were introduced in the daily prosthodontic field evaluating occlusal contacts for diagnosis and analysis. Maness in 1987 developed the T-Scan system, which is considered as a new computerized device capable to interpret occlusal contacts information quantitatively. The system is composed of a sensor, sensor frame, handle, cable and system unit. Record and analysis mode made possible the occlusal contacts in three ways, such as the balance plot, the time display and comparison screen. However, accuracy and reproducibility of occlusal marking through this system is still uncertain. Therefore, this preliminary study was conducted on four specific points loaded on a sensor by application of the weight of 0.1 kg through 10 kg. The following results were obtained 1. There exists certain non-sensible areas caused by its constructional feature. 2. The most sensible area can be measured from 0.1 Kg to 2.1 Kg, and therefore, this device is more suitable for recording within lower loadings. 3. Although the system has a certain disadvantage of reproducibility, this contributes to attain diagnosis and treatment of occlusal contacts for a quantitative evaluation.
在日常口腔修复领域，人们引入了各种方法来评估咬合接触，以进行诊断和分析。1987年，马内斯开发了T-Scan系统，该系统被认为是一种能够定量解读咬合接触信息的新型计算机化设备。该系统由一个传感器、传感器框架、手柄、电缆和系统单元组成。记录和分析模式通过三种方式实现咬合接触，如平衡图、时间显示和比较屏幕。然而，通过该系统进行咬合标记的准确性和可重复性仍不确定。因此，本初步研究通过在传感器上施加0.1千克至10千克的重量，对四个特定点进行了研究。获得了以下结果：1. 由于其结构特点，存在一定的无感区域。2. 最敏感的区域可在0.1千克至2.1千克之间测量，因此，该设备更适合在较低负荷下进行记录。3. 尽管该系统在可重复性方面存在一定缺点，但有助于实现对咬合接触的诊断和治疗，以进行定量评估。
