T-scan: Streamlining occlusal verification

Abstract

Alteration of the vertical dimension of occlusion requires accurate diagnosis, careful case analysis, and determination of a predictive treatment plan. Although a minimalistic approach is almost always recommended while restoring the occlusal vertical dimension, proper analysis of occlusion can make the treatment successful with a high survival rate. This paper will explain the occlusion correction, stabilization, and equilibration technique strategy by digital means using T-scan for patients undergoing full mouth rehabilitation.
