Occlusal assessment system XT

dental

TEETHAN XT IS AN INNOVATIVE TOOL FOR THE FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF DENTAL OCCLUSION. IT ALLOWS TO EVALUATE THE ACTIVITY OF THE MAIN MASTICATORY MUSCLES, ANTERIOR TEMPORALIS AND MASSETER, WITH THE POSSIBILITY TO EVALUATE ALSO STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID AND TRAPEZIUS MUSCLES OF THE CERVICAL REGION. Four protocols 4-probes Occlusal Test (Static) It compares two maximum intercuspation tests, lasting 5 seconds each. 6-probes Occlusal Test - Sternocleidomastoid (Static) It compares two maximum intercuspation tests, lasting 5 seconds each. Moreover, a cervical rotation test - both right and left - is also performed. 6-probes Occlusal Test - Trapezius (Static) It compares two maximum intercuspation tests, lasting 5 seconds each. Moreover, a shoulder elevation test - both right and left - is also performed. Chewing Test It allows to evaluate the neuromuscular coordination in dynamic conditions, i.e. during the masticatory act. Features Raw activity of masticatory musles TEETHAN XT allows to visualize the raw electromyographic signal of the masticatory muscles activity. Advanced Report TEETHAN XT Occlusion and Chewing Reports add in-depth information about masticatory muscle activity. STATIC In order to measure dental occlusion's balance, the patient has to perform two 5-seconds-long clenching tests. The first is performed using cotton rolls, the second without. Test is completed after the two clenches. Then, an easy-to-interpret report is generated. The test can be easily repeated as it takes just few minutes each time. From the examination we obtain 5 main indices useful for the analysis of the occlusal state. For each index, the relative normality band is available:
