Computerised Dynamic Occlusal Study with T-Scan III System in Patients Treated with Stabilisation Splint

Abstract

factor for developing myofascial pain in TMDs than sleep bruxism [5] Conversely, Blanco Aguillera et al. and Fernandes et al. found that the pain in TMDs was associated with the sleep bruxism [6]. There are many studies on different aspects of TMDs, bruxism and myofascial pain. Few, however, have objectively evaluated the changes a stabilising splint produces in occlusion to facilitate good orthopaedic stability. In this sense, computerised systems that allow dentists to record these changes dynamically have been available to them for years. Maness developed the T-Scan system for computer occlusal analysis in 1987, which performs real-time measurements of occlusal force percentages using an intraoral sensor.
