Different tools can be used when carrying out a bite test which produce symptoms associated with cracked tooth syndrome. Patients bite down followed by sudden release of pressure. CTS diagnosis is confirmed by pain on release of pressure. The involved cusp can be determined by biting on individual cusps separately. Tekscan, or T-Scan, is a diagnostic machine that is used to perform the Bite Test to check occlusion and see if there are any problems. For the test, a patient simply bites down on a thin sensor. From there, the software will show the timing of the contact between the teeth and the level of force exerted.
