Reproducibility of occlusal contacts utilizing a computerized instrument.
This study was designed to examine clinically the accuracy and reproducibility of occlusal contacts made by a computerized device (the T-scan) in ten asymptomatic subjects. The results showed 100% accuracy and reproducibility for all contacts in all subjects. A great advantage of this instrument over silk marking ribbon is that it not only records contacts but can also analyze the timing and force of each contact.
