Abstract
- Force loading of dental prosthesis is generally a guessing game played by the operator with the patient. Relying on a patient is comfort level to adjust occlusion is now being replaced by sound force information provided by the T Scan II. Proper use of the T Scan II when installing a segmental fixed prosthesis gives a more precise, comprehensive occlusion. Porcelain surfaces, solder joints, and the underlying abutment teeth can now be loaded with low-to-moderate forces because the operator can fine-tune the occlusal forces precisely. With proper force loading, greater material and prosthesis longevity is significantly enhanced.
