Congratulations to Robert Kerstein, DMD and all the contributors on this mammoth comprehensive updated guide to the next generation of Measured Digital Occlusion. Get the book: https://hubs.li/Q02-KH1R0 More on T-Scan and dynamic occlusal measurement: https://hubs.li/Q02-KNhR0 Description: Many dental practitioners struggle to accurately diagnose and treat occlusal issues, leading to ineffective treatments and patient dissatisfaction. Traditional methods of occlusal analysis lack the necessary precision and reliability for truly comprehensive patient care. This gap in diagnostic capability can result in prolonged treatment times, increased risk of complications, and suboptimal patient outcomes. The Handbook of Research on T-Scan Technology Applications in Dental Medicine offers a thorough solution centered around Measured Digital Occlusion using T-Scan technology. By compiling the expertise and experiences of leading dental professionals and researchers, this book thoroughly explores the applications and benefits of T-Scan in modern dental practice. It covers various topics, including the evolution of T-Scan technology, its hardware and software components, and its applications in different dental specialties. Through detailed discussions and case studies, this book equips dental practitioners with the knowledge and skills to effectively incorporate T-Scan into their practice. By understanding the principles and techniques of Measured Digital Occlusion, practitioners can improve their diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient outcomes. This book is a valuable resource for dental professionals looking to enhance their practice and deliver superior patient care. https://hubs.li/Q02-KH1R0

Headed to DeviceTalks Boston this week? You can expect to see a lot of panels and discussions about surgical robotics. Surgical robots are smaller, smarter and being launched into space. DeviceTalks Editorial Director Tom Salemi thinks 2024 will be remembered as the year when the surgical robotics sector — not just one company — planted both feet on the ground, slowly rose up and stood tall in the medical device industry. Read more from Tom about the five things that will shape #surgicalrobotics over the next decade, and get a preview of #DTBoston2024 that is set to start tomorrow, all on Medical Design & Outsourcing: https://lnkd.in/eB8hT4dt #robotics #medtech

REMSleep Holdings, Inc. (@remsleep), a sleep apnea solutions provider, has announced an additional delay in the launch of its Deltawave nasal pillows mask. The company cited regulatory compliance and coordination with suppliers as key factors contributing to the postponement. 'We regret these delays, but we take comfort in knowing that the Deltawave is an unequivocal super star which will make a huge impact on the market,' the company stated. 'We are confident every distributor on the map will want to offer the Deltawave and next generation REMSleep masks in the future.' Despite the setback, REMSleep remains optimistic about the product's potential. The company has secured two major distributors and is upgrading its website to better showcase its current and upcoming offerings. Additionally, new product development efforts continue, with molds in the pipeline for a smooth regulatory approval process. 'One thing should be clear to our investors, we are all determined to get the Deltawave as well as other new products into the marketplace,' the statement read. The Deltawave nasal pillows mask is now projected to launch by the end of January 2025. #sleepapenasolutions #medicaldevices #productlaunch #remsleep
