Making an alternative occlusal splint

J Prosthet Dent. 1992 Apr;67(4):572-3. doi: 10.1016/0022-3913(92)90094-q.

Abstract

An occlusal splint is commonly used in the diagnosis and management of temporomandibular disorders. In a partially edentulous patient a poorly adapted removable partial denture can prevent the use of a conventional occlusal splint. This article describes the fabrication of an occlusal splint that also incorporates a provisional removable partial denture.
