Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 14, 2010
As seen in the June issue of Dental Product Reports, the T-Scan® III computerized occlusal analysis system was selected for the "Best of Class" Technology Award in the Diagnostic category by the Pride Institute and its Panel of Technology Experts. T-Scan was one of only thirteen products recognized.
Objective data is what sets T-Scan apart from traditional occlusal indicators. The T-Scan III system is the only diagnostic device on the market that measures occlusal contact force and occlusal contact sequence. The invaluable information it provides helps to easily diagnose and assess the balance of a patient's bite. Full-color, 3-D graphics paint a complete picture of what is and is not functioning, allowing the dentist to prevent common occlusal problems such as pain, gum disease, broken restorations, tooth loss, headaches and TMJ disorder. The T-Scan has proven to be so useful and accurate that many of the leading dental institutes, such as the Dawson Academy, Productive Dentist Academy, Dr. Dick Barnes Group and Esthetic Professionals, have incorporated the system in their curriculum.
The Pride Institute provides continuing education and practice management services to dental professionals and dental companies. They developed the Pride "Best of Class" Technology Awards and the upcoming Pride Technology Expo at the ADA Meeting in Orlando to provide the dental community with the best possible information on the latest new technologies. According to Dr. Lou Shuman, President of the Pride Institute, "The products recognized here were chosen by a majority vote through an unbiased, rigorous assessment selection process in conjunction with a distinguished panel of known technology experts."
The distinguished panel who helped select the winners were: Paul L. Child, Jr., DMD, CDT -- CEO of Clinicians Report, Larry Emmott, DDS --writer, speaker and dental marketing consultant, John Flucke, DDS -- writer, speaker and Technology Editor for Dental Products Report, Marty Jablow, DMD -- writer and speaker, Parag Kachalia, DDS -- Assistant Professor of Restorative Dentistry at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A.
