It is also evident that women work fewer hours, work part-time and see fewer patients than men, and are...

After thirty years of its invention, the T-Scan system, a computerized occlusal analyzer, seems to be the answer in diagnosing and treating patients with occlusion-related temporomandibular disorders. This book is based on a Health Technology Assessment that includes a review of the diagnostic, clinical and economic features of the T-Scan system. Evidence indicates that the T-Scan system is far more accurate and reliable than the conventional methods of occlusal analysis such as the articulating paper. Furthermore, the T-Scan system is able to record quantitative data on occlusal force and...

Reputable scientific opinion recommends the use of mandibular two-implant overdentures as the minimum standard of care for edentulous patients. This technology is associated with high treatment and maintenance costs, which necessitates a systematic critical appraisal of its efficacy and economic impact to aid informed decision making by clinicians regarding its procurement and/or expanded use into clinical practice. This book is based on a Health Technology Assessment that assesses the economic and clinical outcomes (clinician- and patient-based) of ball-type mandibular two-implant...
