Customized procedure to display T-Scan occlusal contacts.
Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry 2017 January
The virtual technique described in this article integrates reverse engineering and mandibular dynamics into dental computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) systems. This technique aims to provide more objective information to the dental technician for the diagnosis, planning, and treatment phases. In order to carry out this protocol, the following devices, currently available in many practices, are necessary: an intraoral scanner, a T-Scan system, and some specific open reverse engineering software. By means of a virtual procedure, the T-Scan system detects the occlusal contacts, and the occlusal surfaces are obtained using an intraoral scanner. Once the alignment between the 3-dimensional occlusal surface and the T-Scan registration is carried out, the resulting contacts are projected onto the patient's occlusal surfaces; in this way, occlusal forces are obtained over time. The results obtained with this procedure demonstrate the feasibility of integrating different tools and software and the full integration of this procedure into a dental digital workflow.
