Since childhood, going to the dentist has caused fear and anxiety for many, because we tend to associate dental procedures with discomfort and pain. Fortunately, dental treatment at the Familia Dental Clinic in Kyiv will not cause such associations in you, thanks to our modern diagnostic and treatment methods. And one of these innovative tools that we use in the clinic is T-SCAN. This computer-assisted digital method allows our doctors to quickly and accurately identify problems with your occlusal contacts, which significantly improves diagnosis and helps plan treatment specifically for you.
What is T-SCAN?
T-SCAN is a device that allows you to accurately diagnose occlusion, that is, the contact between the teeth of your upper and lower jaw. If you have ever experienced headaches, jaw pain, worn or chipped teeth, or increased bruxism (teeth grinding), your occlusal force may be unevenly distributed. T-SCAN helps identify such imbalances.
Many dental clinics still use carbon paper or orthodontic wax to diagnose occlusion, which cannot accurately measure the force and time of pressure. Our clinic widely uses T-SCAN in its practice, because its ultra-thin sensors (only 4 microns thick) create multidimensional images of occlusal contacts, significantly improving diagnosis, helping to accurately determine the causes of discomfort or pain.
How is the T-SCAN procedure performed at the Familia Dental Clinic in Kyiv?
The procedure with T-SCAN in our clinic is simple and painless. Our doctors carefully place a special probe, like a thin plate, in your mouth, which you must bite down on. This sensor measures your occlusal contacts with millisecond precision. Then, on the computer screen, the doctor sees how your chewing ratios change over time. This process is recorded with high precision, allowing the doctor to see where your contacts are stronger or weaker, as well as how symmetrically your chewing muscles are working on the left and right sides.
Additionally, during the procedure, our dentists can identify “super contacts”—areas of excessive pressure that could be causing your teeth to wear away or other problems you didn’t even know you had. If necessary, we can immediately correct these excessive contacts and check the result.
Advantages of diagnostics using the T-SCAN device
Using T-SCAN at the Familia Dental Clinic in Kyiv has several important advantages for you:
- Painless: The procedure is completely painless as you simply bite down on the sensor and the data is automatically displayed on the computer screen.
- Visibility: You can immediately see your diagnostic results on the screen in real time.
- Accuracy of analysis: T-SCAN allows you to avoid many unpleasant moments, such as chips, cracks or structural failures.
- Documentation of data: All data is documented and saved in video format, allowing your dentist to compare before and after treatment and make adjustments if necessary.
Highly qualified specialists at our Familia Dental Clinic in Kyiv will help you undergo occlusion diagnostics using the T-SCAN device to identify and eliminate possible bite problems.
