T-Scan® III: Dental Occlusal Analysis System
Our office uses this amazing technology that enables our patients to have unsurpassed accuracy of bite and occlusal data that is critical…for crowns, bridges, implants, equilibration and selective procedures.The assessment procedure is extremely efficient. No clumsy or messy articulation paper to deal with. The digital data provides a permanent record.
For years, dental occlusion had been largely a matter of guesswork for dentists. Articulation paper, waxes, pressure indicator paste, etc. were all dentists had to assess and balance the forces of occlusion. Most of these methods are not sensitive enough to detect simultaneous contact, and none measure both biting time and force. Tekscan met the challenge by developing the T-Scan system. T-Scan's grid-based sensor technology proved so successful that Tekscan has applied the same technology to hundreds of other applications, forming Tekscan's Medical and Industrial divisions.

NTI Tension Suppression System
Chronic symptoms of the head and neck can often be attributed to:
A) Headache -- the temporalis muscle (it closes and clenches the jaw)
B) Sinus pressure and pain -- the lateral pterygoid muscles (it moves the jaw side to side and/or forward)
C) Neck stiffness and pain -- trapezius muscle (it stabilizes the skull during jaw clenching and grinding)
The FDA has cleared for marketing for the first time, a device that prevents medically diagnosed migraine pain, tension-type headache, and jaw disorders ("TMJ"), without drugs or surgery, through the reduction of trigeminally innervated muscular activity.
Migraine Prevention -- Headache Prevention
The N.T.I. Tension Suppression System is a prefabricated polycarbonate matrix that a dental practitioner retro-fits to the patient's teeth. It is completely different from any other type of mouthpiece.
