Description

There is a great deal of confusion related to both equilibration and splints. Much of this confusion could be resolved if there was a logical method to determine when patients require splint therapy, equilibration therapy, both or neither. The key to understanding these questions rest in the condition of the TM joint as well as the position of the teeth. After understanding the clinical aspects of these treatment modalities, it is necessary to discuss both the presentation skills necessary for case acceptance as well as the financial considerations to create a profitable practice.

Learning Objectives

  • Determine when to use an occlusal splint, when to perform occlusal equilibration, and recognise cases unlikely to respond to either therapy.
  • Compare the advantages and disadvantages of different occlusal appliance designs and apply a step-by-step process for predictable occlusal equilibration.
  • Clearly explain clinical options and financial considerations to patients to improve understanding and increase case acceptance.
