What is T-Scan 8

Chapter 1
Handbook of Research on Computerized Occlusal Analysis Technology Applications in Dental Medicine
The most modern version of the T-Scan system released in 2012, that was purposefully designed to minimize the T-Scan III’s user interface complexity. T-Scan 8 had revised desktop graphics for simpler data display with many less software toolbar buttons and icons. The simplified presentation shortened the T-Scan’s learning curve and standardized the display, by removing most of the preferential software set up that was available to clinicians in T-Scan III.

Abstract
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 evolution of this technology has required much iteration over the past 30 years beginning with T-Scan I, then T-Scan II for Windows®, to T-Scan III with Turbo recording, to the present day version known as T-Scan 8. 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 software has also evolved such that the present day T-Scan 8 includes many high-tech measurement tools that aid the clinician in diagnosing and treating a wide range of occlusal abnormalities. This chapter's specific aims are to detail the evolution of the differing T-Scan system versions while describing the many scientific studies that inspired important system improvements to the T-Scan's accuracy and repeatability from version to version.

The Evolution of the T-Scan I System From 1984 to the Present Day T-Scan 10 System
A simplified version of the T-Scan system released in 2012, that was purposefully designed to minimize the T-Scan III’s user interface complexity. T-Scan 8 had revised desktop graphics and with many less software toolbar buttons and icons. The simplified presentation shortened the T-Scan’s learning curve and standardized the display, by removing most of the preferential software set up that was available to clinicians in T-Scan III.
