Reviews and Testimonials
Kerstein presents students, educators, and dental professionals with a two-volume collection of academic articles and research papers on computerized occlusal analysis technology and its applications in contemporary dentistry. The first volume is organized in four sections, covering evolution of the T-scan technology, the T-scan 8 system, clinical use technologies that compliment the T-scan system in daily dental practice, and occlusal trauma and computerized occlusal analysis. The second volume contains two sections, focused on the clinical applications of computerized occlusal analysis and new occlusal concepts based on computerized occlusal analysis. Robert B. Kerstein is a former faculty member of Tufts University, Massachusetts.

• ProtoView Book Abstracts (formerly Book News, Inc.)

This book discusses the application of computerized occlusal analysis technology as a solution to many commonly observed and frequently encountered occlusal problems that practicing clinicians regularly attempt and struggle to manage. This is one of the first books on the use of digital evaluation of occlusion and it will serve as a measure for future books in this area.
