1-on-1 T-Scan Training Available to T-Scan Users

If you own a T Scan system, and would like to improve your understanding of its features, so as better employ it clinically with your own occlusal diagnosis and adjustments....

• Dr. Robert Kerstein is available to come to your practice and train  you 1-on-1

 Just you and Dr. Kerstein working together, will use your T-Scan to treat your patients, in your office, with your staff observing to ramp up your use of the T-Scan system 

 You pick the cases you want to treat, and with Dr. Kerstein’s assistance, you will record, analyze and optimize their occlusion, utilizing the T-Scan data as the guide to make the measured corrections that will precisely optimize the case occlusal endpoints.

 1-on-1 training includes: 

• Proper recording procedures of CR Recirding, Patient Self-Closure, and Excursive movements
• Force vs. Time Graph analysis
• Time-sequencing analysis
• Implant Time-delay corrections
• Center of Force Trajectory positional improvements
• Case Finishing of all types of dental prostheses
• Disclusion Time Analyses and Disclusion Time Reduction
• Improving patient adaptation to a new occlusal design
• Isolating painful tooth contacts predictably

Bruce R. Ouellette DDS, West Palm Beach, Florida; Trained on 1/6/2012

Robert,

I want to write you and say thank you for taking the time to come to my office and spend the entire day training me “one on one” with T-Scan.  It was an amazing day and I can honestly say that I was mentally fatigued at the end of the day having intensely evaluated and treated/equilibrated/re-equilibrated my patients throughout the day. 

 Equally beneficial to doing the actual equilibration was the ability to discuss each experience between patients.  Your suggestion to line up different types of cases was extremely helpful in showing the versatility of the T-Scan in helping me equilibrate not only with my restorative, implant and reconstruction cases, but my TMD cases as well. 

 My paradigm and conventional teaching always had me adjusting the broader, darker articulating paper marks and looking beyond the “whisper” marks that are often thought to be just a paper rub.  To see the changes in the bite forces change dramatically once the innocuous marks were removed was truly an eye opener.  As you mentioned, force distribution on a small mark can be so pinpoint and detrimental to the fracturing of porcelain, the loss of bone around a tooth or implant and this is often overlooked or undetectable using only articulating paper. 

 Another paradigm shift came from the realization that to correct the Disclusion Time in patients with stable joints (no internal derangement) is often the first step in treatment as opposed to the last.  Seeing the mandible free up as we adjusted the disclusion time was quite impressive.  

 Lastly and most helpful to me was learning all the little nuances that I could never get from a lecture or video presentation/tutorial.  Such things as a seeing the results of a perforation in the sensor and what the cause of the perforation was attributed to, actually being able to count the contact marks on the graph and correlate it precisely and easily to the articulating paper marks, adjusting the screen to correlate to the imperfections in the arch such as shifted teeth or oversized prosthetic restoration, so that the information presented to us was more accurate are things that I could not have learned so quickly, if you had not been by my side.  

Going forth, I will now know what to pay more attention to when I equilibrate similar cases in the future and do so with greater confidence.  All in all, I can honestly say that last Friday was one of the best days ever spent in my extensive continuing dental education and undoubtedly worth the time.   I am truly grateful.

Sincerely,  Bruce

My name is Dr. Mike Henrickson, my father Dr. Myron Henrickson and I are dental practicioners working in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area.  We purchased the T-Scan system for our office aproximately 1 yr ago and had an introductory hands on course in Las Vegas, taught by Dr. Robert Kerstein.  Since we had been using the system for 3 months before the Vegas seminar we had some idea of what we "didn't know" and were hoping to learn it at them seminar.  Dr. Robert Kerstein was leading the seminar with a "hands on" treatment demonstration that was very helpful.  We learned most of the ins and outs of the software and how it worked and how we could apply it to our daily treatment in our office.  The seminar was very helpful, and when we returned to our office we put what we knew to work.  What we found out after applying our knowledge is that we still had some difficulties accurately interpreting our data, and we had some trouble still getting our patients to an ideal end point in their bite adjustments.

My father, Dr. Myron Henrickson, told me that he asked Dr. Robert Kerstein "What is the best way to learn the T-Scan".  Dr. Kerstein recommended a day 1-on-1 session with him looking over our shoulder while we put the practice into place.  About three months later, this is exactly what we did.  Dr. Kerstein flew in from Boston to work a full day with us.  We saw patients from 7 am to 5 pm.  With little to no break.  Needless to say it was the best thing we could have ever done having Dr. Kerstein come to our office.  The main reason why is that in a seminar, you usually can't remember that little thing that you had problems with previously, so you forget to ask.  Dr. Kerstein was a huge help not only in answering our questions but really helping to analyze the data that we were getting.  This was the key that we were missing!!! 

After Dr. Kerstein left we have found a renewed sense of confidence in our ability to equilibrate patient's using the T-Scan.  We have also found that we are much more knowledgable in explaining the system to our patients.  We would like to thank Dr. Kerstein for his one-on-one training and would highly recommend this to any practictioner that wants to become the best they can be using the T-Scan system.
