Abstract

The present study was designed to discuss the relationship between the pressure in maximum intercuspation and the force display of the T-Scan system, and to investigate the number and pressure of occlusal contacts on the display of the T-Scan system at the clenching level of 20%,30%,40% and 50% respectively to the maximum EMG in the masseter muscle. Five persons with permanent dentition, none of whom had any gnatho-facial dysfunctions, were subjected to the study.<BR>The results obtained in the present study are summarized as follows;<BR>1) A significant relationship was found between the pressure in maximum intercuspation and the force display of the T-Scan system.<BR>2) More the clenching level raised on the sensor, more the number of occlusal contacts and the force display (number and pressure) of the T-Scan system increased. This outcome showed similar trends when a silicon impression was used to examine the occlusal contacts.<BR>3) Of the subjects who had a high DMF tooth index, the number and pressure of the occlusal contacts did not increase even if the clenching level was elevated.<BR>As far as the results of present study is concerned, the T-Scan system is considered to be appropriate for examining the number and pressure of occlusal contacts.
