Fabricating a combined occlusal splint and provisional removable partial denture offers a solution for partially edentulous patients with temporomandibular disorders. This approach integrates treatment for both conditions, improving patient management.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthetics
  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
  • Oral Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Occlusal splints are standard for diagnosing and managing temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
  • Poorly fitting removable partial dentures (RPDs) in partially edentulous patients can impede conventional occlusal splint use.
  • This presents a challenge in providing comprehensive care for patients with both TMD and partial edentulism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the fabrication of a novel dental device.
  • To present a combined occlusal splint and provisional removable partial denture.
  • To offer a solution for partially edentulous patients with TMD who cannot use conventional splints.

Main Methods:

  • The article details a clinical fabrication process.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The method involves integrating an occlusal splint design within a provisional RPD framework.
  • This ensures simultaneous function and therapeutic benefit.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful fabrication of a dual-function device is demonstrated.
    • The combined appliance addresses both occlusal stability for TMD and prosthetic replacement of missing teeth.
    • This technique provides a viable treatment option for a specific patient group.

    Conclusions:

    • A combined occlusal splint and provisional RPD is feasible.
    • This innovative approach simplifies treatment for partially edentulous patients with TMD.
    • It enhances patient management by addressing multiple dental needs with a single prosthesis.
