Background The aim of Orthodontic treatment apart from esthetic and functional corrections is uniform force distribution. Hence Occlusal analysis using a T scan gives scope for a precisely targeted treatment plan. The T-scan evaluation of occlusal force, time, and location of contacts from initial occlusal contact to maximum intercuspation enable the orthodontist to sequentially balance the occlusal forces on right and left side by specific treatment plan options. Objective The current study aimed to determine the force distribution by using T-Scan as well as the NET discrepancies of forces generated at a maximum intercuspation position in the first molar region between the left and right sides of the mouth. Methods This is a descriptive-correlational study that was carried out in Ras Al Khaimah College of Dental Sciences clinics and Ajman University clinics from January 2020 to September 2022 by using the convenience sampling technique. Results The present study consisted of 158 participants. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that there is a statistically significant difference in percentage of force between the three types of malocclusions (I, II, and III) on the right molar side (B-16 and B-46) (p < 0.05). Moreover, the overall discrepancy showed a statistically significant difference in the three types of malocclusion classifications (p < 0.05). On the other hand, there was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of force between B-26 and B-36 (p > 0.05). Post hoc showed a statistically significant difference in percentage of force between Malocclusion Class I and Class III on the right molar with a mean difference of 4.11190 (p < 0.05). Similarly, there was a statistically significant difference in B-46 between Malocclusion Classes I and II, 4.01806 (p < 0.05). Additionally, post hoc showed a statistically significant difference between Malocclusion Class I and Class III with a mean difference of -4.79841 (p < 0.05) on the right molar. Conclusion The T-Scan is a useful tool for assessing occlusal discrepancies and can be helpful during treatment planning and follow-up, especially for orthognathic surgery patients. T-scan could be used in orthodontic therapy in a simple and efficient way. Also, it turned out to be a useful tool for diagnosing problems and gave us new information about how therapies work. In this study, T-Scan showed that it can measure occlusal forces in timing in an objective, accurate, and repeated manner. The current study found that T-Scan was better able to report the difference in the percentage of force on the right molar side than on the left side.

Background The aim of orthodontic treatment, apart from esthetic and functional corrections, is uniform force distribution. Hence Occlusal analysis using a T scan gives scope for a precisely targeted treatment plan. The T-scan evaluation of occlusal force, time, and location of contacts from initial occlusal contact to maximum intercuspation enables the orthodontist to sequentially balance the occlusal forces on the right and left sides through specific treatment plan options. Objective The current study aimed to determine the force distribution in the different individuals by using a T-Scan as well as the net discrepancies of forces generated at a maximum intercuspation position in the first molar region between the left and right sides of the mouth. Methods This is a descriptive-correlational study that was carried out in Ras Al Khaimah College of Dental Sciences clinics and Ajman University clinics from January 2020 to September 2022 by using the convenience sampling technique. The T-scan III Novus was employed in this investigation to record multi-bite scans for several patients. T-scan was utilised to examine various malocclusions. Results The present study consisted of 158 participants. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that there is a statistically significant difference in the percentage of force between the three types of malocclusions (I, II, and III) on the right molar side (B-16 and B-46) (p < 0.05).

Since its inception in 1984, computerized occlusal analysis technology has revolutionized both dental occlusal science and daily clinical practice by bringing objective precision measurement to the largely subjectively analyzed dental medicine discipline of occlusion. The science of Measured Digital Occlusion is a major clinical advance over traditional, subjectively practiced occlusion. This is because T-Scan measured timing and force metric-based occlusal function parameters guide both the diagnosis of an occlusion's health, but also aid the clinician in obtaining high-precision, high-numerical tolerance measured occlusal function outcomes, that can't be attained without the T-Scan's capacity to make specific occlusal functional measurements. The development of the T-Scan technology has required much iteration over the past 40 years beginning with T-Scan I, then T-Scan II for Windows®, then T-Scan III with turbo recording, to a simplified desktop version introduced in T-Scan 8, to the present day, state of the art occlusal analysis version known as T-Scan 10 Novus. Numerous authors since the mid-1980s have studied the various T-Scan versions, which inspired the manufacturer to improve the hardware and its recording sensors to be more accurate, repeatable, and precise. The present-day Novus recording handle represents a major ergonomic and functional upgrade over the Evolution handle that was used up to T-Scan 8, while the T-Scan 9 software has evolved into T-Scan 10 Novus system, which includes many new high-tech measurement tools like the Digital Impression Overlay (DIO), the Sensitivity Wizard, the Implant Warning Feature, and the Force Eraser tool. All of these new system modifications improve the clinician's ability to diagnose and treat a wide range of occlusal abnormalities. Chapter one's specific aims are to detail the evolution of the differing T-Scan system versions, and outline the functional measured digital occlusion parameters that have been applied in many scientific patient treatment studies that resulted from important system improvements to the T-Scan's accuracy and repeatability, from version to version. Chapter one will also highlight some newly available digital occlusion technologies that somewhat mimic T-Scan, while including a detailed section comparing and contrasting T-Scan data to intraoral scanner (IOS) occlusal representations. Presented studies will illustrate that intraoral scanners (IOS) only prognosticate occlusal contact surface engagement, but do not measure or describe for analysis, occlusal contact force levels or contact timing sequences from within scanned dental arches.
