چکیده

Careful management of the occlusion is necessary for successful prosthodontic treatment.

This clinical report documents a 60-year-old man with a Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index Class IV dentition, who prior to a full-mouth reconstruction, underwent occlusal splint therapy with a Michigan-type splint that incorporated z-springs to allow concurrent orthodontic tooth movement of two anterior teeth to positions that would allow favorable restorations by correcting occlusal and esthetic form.

A new computer-assisted method for design and fabrication of occlusal splints.

In this report, we describe computer-based design and production of occlusal splints. A research effort was undertaken to develop a process to eliminate the inherent variabilities associated with current splint-fabrication methods. The digital process provides quantitative control over articulation and splint design, and produces splints with continuously smooth occlusal surfaces. Stone casts a...

However, the effect of the occlusal splints on occlusal force has not been clarified sufficiently. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal splints on maximum occlusal force in patients with sl...
