IDS 2019 Recap
This year’s International Dental Show was certainly a whirlwind. We saw a lot of activity at the Tekscan booth, and spoke with many attendees about the increased global interest in digital occlusal analysis.
This technology is advancing, and so is its demand within the dental community. More and more people are realizing the benefits of T-ScanTM . Nearly EVERY dental procedure performed impacts occlusion. Poor occlusion affects quality of life. T-Scan is a tool to restore this quality of life.
Here is a brief recap of what we saw and heard at IDS 2019.
Excellent Speakers
Tekscan was fortunate to host several knowledgeable and compelling speakers at IDS. Dr. Henriette Lerner and Dr. Scott Green, two well-known experts in occlusion, gave interesting and informative presentations including case examples with T-Scan data.
Dr. Henriette Lerner is a specialist in oral surgery focusing on implantology and aesthetics. She is an educator in the topics of implant dentistry, grafting techniques and digital technology, as well as aesthetics on implants. Based in Baden Baden, Germany, she has contributed to the development of two implant systems, dental apps and surgical instruments. Dr. Lerner is currently President of the Digital Dentistry Society International (DDS).
Dr. Scott Green received a DMD degree from Tufts University and an MS in Microbiology from Montana State University. He has been practicing general dentistry in Montana, USA for more than 30 years. Dr. Green uses a number of technology and alternative medicine products to assist in making accurate diagnosis and guide treatment, providing quality care and measurable outcomes.

Dr. Green presented studies at the Tekscan booth to reveal the accuracy that T-Scan can add to your occlusal analysis. He also showed its value in everyday practice, especially as a case-finishing tool.
Dr. Green also presented at the Speakers’ Corner, where he discussed the principles of occlusal adjustment and the value of T-Scan for implants and restorations.
Dr. Lerner discusses how technology enables long term aesthetics and function for implants, and where tools like T-Scan can fit into your workflow.
Dr. Lerner’s presentation was recorded, and will soon be available as an on-demand webinar. Stay tuned and visit our website to find that and many other helpful resources.

Growing Interest in Digital Occlusal Analysis
More and more dental professionals are interested in digital occlusal analysis. We see the attention that this technology is now getting at events like IDS, and also at courses and seminars around the world. Check out some of our upcoming events here. https://www.tekscan.com/events
In another exciting development, T-Scan is now integrated into the DSDApp by Digital Smile Design, leaders is cosmetic dentistry. We believe this partnership will even further grow the interest and demand for digital occlusion analysis technology. Learn more about Tekscan’s partnership with DSD here.
People Checking Their Bite with T-Scan Product Demonstrations
Many of our Tekscan booth visitors took the opportunity to “check their bite” and see what T-Scan can do firsthand. We performed scans on dozens of visitors and showed them the data that dentists around the world are now using to help analyze occlusal issues.

The International Dental Show is a phenomenon. The atmosphere is so international, thirsty for knowledge and open that it is was simply very inspiring once again this year.

IDS 2019 certainly lived up to its billing as the leading global trade fair for the dental community. We had a great time meeting the attendees, seeing and hearing the latest developments in this industry, and sharing information about T-Scan.
