摘要：Occlusion analysis is essential for determining any occlusal disharmony. The complexity of the human occlusal system, it was extremely difficult to analyze challenges with occlusal origins. The demand for the least traumatic dental occlusion is increasing, which led to the development of T-scan. T-Scan is a useful tool for clinical evaluation and understanding of occlusal problems. The goal of this study is to spread awareness on advancement in computerized occlusal analysis. A questionnaire containing 12 questions was prepared and distributed among the Indian dentists. Indian dentist knowledge on advanced occlusal analysis were assessed through a series of specially designed proformas and corresponding results were calculated and tabulated. Among 100 samples enrolled in the study 43 were MDS practitioners and 57 were undergraduates out of which the majority 71%was not aware of T scan. Only 24% prefer Tscan over articulating paper. Awareness should be spread among the practitioners on the benefits of using digital occlusal scan and also keep them updated on the newer generations of T-scan by conducting CDE and hands-on workshops.
