Many dental practitioners struggle to accurately diagnose and treat occlusal issues, leading to ineffective treatments and patient dissatisfaction. Traditional methods of occlusal analysis lack the necessary precision and reliability for truly comprehensive patient care. This gap in diagnostic capability can result in prolonged treatment times, increased risk of complications, and suboptimal patient outcomes. The Handbook of Research on T-Scan Technology Applications in Dental Medicine offers a thorough solution centered around Measured Digital Occlusion using T-Scan technology. By compiling the expertise and experiences of leading dental professionals and researchers, this book thoroughly explores the applications and benefits of T-Scan in modern dental practice. It covers various topics, including the evolution of T-Scan technology, its hardware and software components, and its applications in different dental specialties. Through detailed discussions and case studies, this book equips dental practitioners with the knowledge and skills to effectively incorporate T-Scan into their practice. By understanding the principles and techniques of Measured Digital Occlusion , practitioners can improve their diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient outcomes. This book is a valuable resource for dental professionals looking to enhance their practice and deliver superior patient care.
Dr. Robert B. Kerstein received his D.M.D. degree in 1983, and his Prosthodontic certificate in 1985, both from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. From 1985 - 1998, he maintained an active appointment at Tufts as a clinical professor teaching Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics. In 1984, Dr. Kerstein began studying the original T Scan I technology, and has since that time has also studied T-Scan II, T-Scan III, T-Scan VII, T-Scan 8, T-Scan 9, and now the present-day version, the T-Scan 10 technology. Over the past 40 years, Dr. Kerstein has published many original research studies using all versions of the T Scan, that has led to his becoming the leading authority and researcher in the field of Computerized Occlusal Analysis. His findings have been published in the , the , , , the , the , the , , , and the . Additionally, Dr. Kerstein has edited 9 research volumes about all the known applications of the T-Scan Computerized Occlusal Analysis technology. A pioneer and academic science advocate for digital occlusal technology, Dr. Kerstein teaches a measured system which greatly improves the success of bite-related procedures commonplace in every dental practice. Digital Measured Occlusion provides predictable, rapid bite comfort for most patients, while lessening prosthesis breakage and remakes and shortening treatment times.
