Technique for Construction of a Maxillary Stabilization Splint. Part 1 Pei Feng Lim BDS, MS Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain Fellow of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain Director, Oral & Maxillofacial Pain Program UNC at Chapel Hill, School of Dentistry [email protected]

Types of Splints • Stabilization Splint / Muscle Relaxation Splint • Anterior Positioning or Repositioning Splint / Orthopedic Repositioning Splint • Anterior Bite Plane • Posterior Bite Plane • Pivoting Splint • Soft Splint • Etc.

Stabilization Splint

• When splint is in place, condyles in musculoskeletally stable position, teeth contact evenly & simultaneously • canine guidance • AIM: eliminate orthopedic instability between occlusal position & TMJ position

Contraindications

• maxillary / mandibular 1. Mixed dentition

2. Orthodontic treatment

Advantages of Maxillary stabilization splint 1. Covers more tissue → > stable, > retentive, < likely to break 2. Easier to achieve occlusion in Class II & III 3. Lower teeth contact on flat surface → > stable 4. Easier to locate CR position

Advantages of Mandibular stabilization splint 1. Aesthetics

Criteria for Stabilization Splint 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Good fit, stability & retention In CR, mandibular buccal cusps contact flat surfaces evenly Protrusion on canines Laterotrusion on canines Mandibular posterior teeth contact splint only in CR Upright position, posterior occlusion more prominent than anterior Splint occlusal surface is flat Splint polished

Indirect Technique

Many Techniques • None better than the other • Indirect (lab) Vs Direct (chair side) techniques • Technique sensitive The best technique is the technique you are most experienced in & most comfortable with

Indirect Technique

Less chair-side time (more popular)

1. Maxillary & Mandibular impression & models 2. Bite Registration

Indirect Technique

Indirect Technique

3. Face-bow record

4. Send to Laboratory

Technique Outline

• Is what you will learn in this course • Disadvantage: chair time • Advantage: if you can do this, you can make any splint with any technique on any planet

1st visit • Patient assessment • Maxillary impression Laboratory Phase 2nd Visit • Splint delivery 3rd Visit (follow-up) • Splint adjustment

Clinical Examination Examine current splint (if present) • Splint description: maxillary/mandibular, partial/fullcoverage, soft/acrylic • Fit • Retention • Stability • Occlusion: centric stops, lateral guidance, protrusive guidance

Additional Tests Questionnaire

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Has anyone heard you grinding your teeth at night? Is your jaw ever fatigued or sore on awakening in the morning? Are your teeth or gums ever sore on awakening in the morning? Do you ever experience temporal headaches on awakening in the morning? Are you ever aware of grinding your teeth during the day? Are you ever aware of clenching your teeth during the day?

>2 positive responses => bruxer

Additional Tests Polysomnogram

Additional Tests EMG Recording

Additional Tests Imaging

Summary of Findings • Clinical Impression: Nocturnal bruxism? Daytime parafunctions?

• Contributing Factors: Psychosocial stressors? Caffeine?

• Treatment Plan 1. Advised stress mx & reduce caffeine intake 2. Maxillary stabilization splint
