What is Force vs. Time Graph

Handbook of Research on Computerized Occlusal Analysis Technology Applications in Dental Medicine
An important T-Scan software analysis tool that displays the changing forces as they were recorded in sequence across time, for the entire duration of functional mandibular movement that was recorded. The Force vs. Time Graph can also describes the changing forces of any individually selected teeth by using the Tooth Timing software feature. In addition, the Force vs. time Graph can describe the changing forces of any Force Outlier teeth, when that software feature is selected by the clinician. The Force vs. Time Graph uses differing line color-coding that is a visual reference to differing areas of the 2D ForceView arch model. The graph can also describe four quadrants of force instead of two quadrants in arch-halves, when the Quadrant Division Tool is activated by the clinician.

Abstract
The newly designed T-Scan 8 Computerized Occlusal Analysis system represents the state-of-the-art in occlusal diagnosis. The reliability of the system's high definition recording sensors, the many occlusal analysis timing and force software features, and the modern-day computer hardware electronics that record occlusal function in 0.003 second real-time increments affords a clinician unparalleled occlusal contact timing and force information with which to predictably diagnose and treat many occlusal abnormalities. T-Scan 8 represents the culmination of 30 years of T-Scan technology innovation and development with revised desktop graphics and less toolbar buttons for simpler graphical display designed to shorten the T-Scan learning curve. The chapter also discusses five useful diagnostic occlusal recordings employed when treating commonly observed occlusal problems. Lastly, the chapter outlines the three Learning Levels of T-Scan mastery that must be accomplished for a clinician to become an effective and competent T-Scan user.
