摘要：T-Scan is a digital occlusion analysis system that records and measures tooth contact, force, and timing in real-time using a thin, flexible, pressure-sensitive bite transducer embedded in a dental arch-shaped recording sensor. The occlusal data obtained from T-Scan can be displayed graphically for analysis in two or three dimensions or as a dynamic movie that can be analysed stepwise. The occlusal force distribution, occlusal interference, and relative force of each interference can be determined from the recorded occlusal data. Materials and Methods: This survey was conducted in an online forum, google forms. A pretested questionnaire was prepared regarding digital occlusal devices and stomatognathic surgery. The questionnaire was distributed among dental students and the results were collected and statistically analysed and presented using SPSS software. Results:From this survey it is noted that around, the majority (78%) of the students are not aware of what digital occlusal calibration devices are. They include T scan which is a digital occlusion analysis system that records and measures tooth contact, force, and timing in real-time using a thin, flexible, pressure-sensitive bite transducer embedded in a dental arch-shaped recording sensor. From the current study it is seen that the majority of the participants (84%) were not aware that T scan can be used in the management of stomatognathic surgery. Conclusion: From the survey it proves that, majority of the undergraduates have not shown much interest towards the advancement of prosthodontics. Hence, more knowledge and awareness should be implemented in the learning dental students for a wider knowledge of the students for their future.
