Ed Begley, Jr.It's not every day you see dental technology featured on a Discovery Channel TV Series. You may want to tune into the show Innovations with Ed Begley Jr. sometime in the Fall to see the amazing advancements unveiled by TWO of our partners - the Aurum Group and Digital Smile Design (DSD) - a high-tech dental lab and a globally recognized smile design workflow platform, respectively.

DMG Productions developed the award-winning TV series to highlight the most innovative breakthroughs of our time; in topics ranging from health, to business, to energy and more. It's meant to showcase the most important matters facing the public and business world by tapping into the developers and experts who brought these innovations to life.

The segment will feature both of our partners Aurum and DSD, as well has how their technology is bringing artistry, emotion, and technique to deliver high-end aesthetic results. The two groups work together to connect to patients and deliver superior quality dentistry - a partnership that combines art and science.

Mark Maier, President of The Aurum GroupIn a recent release, Mark Maier, president and CEO of The Aurum Group, said, "We care about our customers' ability to offer the latest technology in comprehensive interdisciplinary dentistry, so we've partnered with DSD founder Christian Coachman to bring the gold standard in smile design to the North American dental market."

So, of all the innovations in dentistry out there, why this spotlight?

Innovations producer Stephanie Derra says, "DSD is a proven, step-by-step methodology, having been used for almost a decade by top dental technicians and dentists in order to improve the quality of aesthetic dental treatments," said Stephanie Derra, Producer for the Innovations series. "We look forward to highlighting this groundbreaking technology."

At Tekscan, we stand behind one of the greatest innovations in dentistry and support our partners who see the same value.

Tekscan's T-ScanBoth Aurum and DSD use Tekscan's digital occlusal analysis system, T-Scan™, as part of their workflows to check the occlusion in both a dental lab and dental practice setting. T-Scan records the force and timing of tooth surfaces coming together in real time. It displays the bite data on screen, where a clinician or technician can then make modifications and adjustments to the dental work, so that a patient's occlusion is balanced, functional, and comfortable. It's the only technology on the market of its kind.
