Splints

 This flat plane occlusal acrylic splint can be made on the upper and lower arch and has full pinpoint contact of the opposing arch.  This splint may be used in treating TMD cases and is widely used for bruxism problems. 

 Also known as the Superior Repositioning Splint (SRS). This splint is flat in the posterior portion of the appliance and has a ramp in the anterior to allow lateral and protrusive movements with incisal guidance and cuspid protection.  This can be made for the upper or lower arch. 

This full coverage mandibular splint is used in the treatment of TMD.  There is a slight ramp in the anterior portion of the splint to allow lateral movements with incisal guidance and cuspid protection.

 Mandibular Orthopedic Repositioning Appliance (MORA or Gelb) is used to reposition the mandible and is fabricated on the lower arch.  This splint has no anterior acrylic; a lingual bar connects the posterior acrylic.  There is deep indexing to hold the desired position with  one pair of ball claps for retention.  

 This splint can also be used for bruxism cases if the indexing is left off.

 This splint is usually fabricated with a wax bite that brings the mandible into a protrusive position.  The upper splint has a flange that rests behind the lower anteriors to maintain the forward position.  The lower ARS is made with deep indexing to maintain forward position 

  Dual Laminate Splints have a hard outer shell and soft inner liner constructed for the upper and lower arch.  Acrylic is added to the occlusion to make even contact with opposing arch.  Can be used on most types of splints. 

 Variflex is a unique acrylic with dual-hardness properties. At room temperature, Variflex is a hard material similar to standard acrylic. In the mouth, Variflex softens slightly to facilitate seating.
