Do you use it on every patient? Do you usually only use it on people who have symptoms? How does that work?
24:01
Well, you can use it as a diagnostic tool and as a treatment tool.
24:05
So yes, you can certainly schedule yourself to scan every person, and that would require the person doing the scanning to be good at it.
24:13
It doesn't just work because someone bought it, like I said.
24:16
So if you're going to scan every patient and you want valid data, as a dentist, you'd want to be trained in how to use it.
24:22
And then you can make very intelligent decisions about what's wrong with their bite and how to improve it.
24:27
And that could be for a TMJ patient, a patient with symptoms, someone who has painful teeth after getting new dentistry done.
26:55
What does treatment look like with a T-scan?
2:32
But what are some just everyday things that this stuff is being used for?
2:36
Well, it's an everyday tool in a trained professional's hands to measure problems in the bite.
2:43
So a problem can be a sore tooth that the patient, every time they chew, it hurts them.
2:48
You can measure that tooth while they're chewing on the sensor and you can find out why there's a a bad contact, or which part of the tooth is causing this pain, or you can use it to stop cold sensitivity by adjusting the bite in specific ways.
3:02
It treats TMJ.
3:04
I shouldn't say that.
3:05
It doesn't treat.

But are there uses where you're incorporating AI in this technology as well now, because of all the recent advancements?
