    Area of Science:

    • Dental Materials Science
    • Prosthodontics
    • Biomaterials Engineering

    Background:

    • Occlusal devices require durable materials to withstand occlusal forces.
    • Patient comfort and ease of device seating are critical for compliance.
    • Current materials may present trade-offs between hardness and comfort.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel fabrication procedure for occlusal devices.
    • To combine the benefits of hard and soft acrylic resins in a single device.
    • To improve the clinical performance and patient experience of occlusal devices.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel procedure utilizing a combination of hard and soft acrylic resin was developed.
    • The outer shell is fabricated from hard resin to resist occlusal forces.

  • A thin, controlled inner lining of soft resin is incorporated for enhanced comfort and seating.

    • Main Results:

    • The fabricated devices demonstrate resilience against opposing occlusion due to the hard outer shell.
    • The soft resin lining significantly improves seating ease and wearer comfort.
    • The thinness of the soft lining ensures the device functions as if made entirely of hard acrylic resin.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel dual-resin technique offers a superior approach to fabricating occlusal devices.
    • The procedure allows for error-free fabrication of comfortable, durable, and well-fitting occlusal devices.
    • The method is applicable to all types of occlusal devices, enhancing their clinical utility.
