T-Scancan identify the first contact point that precedes numerous othercontact points and those that transitorily occur duringmaxillomandibular functional movements. The T-Scan determines thecontact time-sequencing, the percentage of relative occlusal forcebetween numerous occlusal contacts, and the dynamic display of theseoccurrences. This is intended to enable the clinician to better identifyinterfering contacts.
