Occlusion is associated with all disciplines of dentistry and plays a major role in the longevity of both implant- and tooth-borne restorations. Achieving occlusal harmony ensures balance is established between the dental and myofascial structures, which can be measurably established to high numerical tolerances with the T-Scan digital occlusal analysis system.
To describe and evaluate the known and proven applications of T-Scan digital occlusal analysis in various dental practice disciplines through a systematic review of the literature.
An electronic, English-language PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials database search using the keywords "T-Scan," "TMD," "Occlusion," "Implant Protected Occlusion," and "Orthodontics" was conducted without any date restrictions. The related journal findings were hand searched to determine studies that met the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the present systematic review.
The PubMed/MEDLINE search identified 423 articles. After removing duplicates, the titles and abstracts of the remaining 421 studies were screened. 274 ineligible articles were excluded, leaving 147 articles. Of those, 33 articles were not in English, 27 full-text articles were not available, 4 were comments and letters to editors, 1 was a review, and 2 described techniques. A total of 86 articles met the eligibility criteria for inclusion.
Much scientific evidence supports the use of T-Scan, as it measures relative occlusal contact forces and the time sequence durations of occlusal contacts objectively, accurately, and repeatedly for improved treatment outcomes. The system's hardware, sensor, and software evolution from T-Scan I to today's T-Scan 10 Novus system has overcome early sensor and system drawbacks to improve the clinical performance of T-Scan in many disciplines of dental medicine.
阻塞与牙科学的所有学科都有关联，并且在种植体和牙齿支撑修复体的寿命中起着重要作用。实现咬合协调可确保牙齿和咀嚼肌结构之间达到平衡，这可以通过 T-Scan 数字咬合分析系统以可测量的高精度数值公差来建立。
通过对文献进行系统回顾，描述和评估 T-Scan 数字咬合分析在各种牙科实践学科中的已知和经过验证的应用。
我们使用关键词“T-Scan”、“TMD”、“Occlusion”、“Implant Protected Occlusion”和“Orthodontics”，对英文 PubMed/MEDLINE 和 Cochrane 中央对照试验注册库进行电子检索，没有任何日期限制。对手动搜索相关期刊结果，以确定符合纳入本系统综述的纳入标准的研究。
PubMed/MEDLINE 搜索确定了 423 篇文章。去除重复项后，筛选了其余 421 篇研究的标题和摘要。排除了 274 篇不符合条件的文章，留下了 147 篇文章。其中 33 篇文章不是英文的，27 篇全文文章不可用，4 篇是评论和给编辑的信件，1 篇是评论，2 篇描述技术。共有 86 篇文章符合纳入标准。
大量科学证据支持使用 T-Scan，因为它客观、准确和重复地测量相对咬合接触力和咬合接触的时间顺序持续时间，以提高治疗效果。该系统的硬件、传感器和软件从 T-Scan I 发展到今天的 T-Scan 10 Novus 系统，克服了早期传感器和系统的缺陷，提高了 T-Scan 在许多牙科医学领域的临床性能。
