512. Dr. Robert B. Kerstein, DMD

Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde speaks with Dr. Robert B. Kerstein (DMD), a pioneer in computerized bite analysis and digital occlusal technology, about how dentistry can move beyond subjective guesswork toward more precise, data-driven treatment. What does a patient's bite reveal about TMJ symptoms, headaches, prosthesis failure, and overall comfort? Why does much of dentistry still rely on outdated methods when real-time digital measurements are available? And how can tools like T-Scan help clinicians improve outcomes while reducing treatment time?Dr. Kerstein earned his D.M.D. in 1983 and his Prosthodontic certificate in 1985 from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where he later served as a clinical professor of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics for 13 years. Beginning in 1984, he has studied every generation of T-Scan technology, from the original T-Scan 1 to the current T-Scan 10 Novus, and over the past four decades has become the leading authority in Computerized Occlusal Analysis. He has published extensively in leading dental journals and edited nine research volumes on T-Scan applications. A pioneer and academic advocate for digital occlusal technology, Dr. Kerstein teaches a measured, data-driven approach that improves bite-related treatment outcomes, enhances patient comfort, reduces prosthesis failure and remakes, and shortens overall treatment time.
