    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Biomaterials Engineering

    Background:

    • Bruxism, a condition characterized by involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, can lead to significant masticatory muscle tension and discomfort.
    • Traditional methods for fabricating oral splints can be time-consuming and may involve multiple patient visits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate a comprehensive digital workflow for the precise fabrication of an adjusted oral splint.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of a digitally manufactured splint in managing patient bruxism.

    Main Methods:

    • A patient with bruxism underwent computer-aided motion analysis and full-arch digital scanning (maxilla, mandible, and centric jaw relation).
    • Jaw relation was established using a chairside jig, followed by digital design of a Michigan splint.
    • The splint was milled from a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) blank using digital manufacturing techniques.

    Main Results:

    • The fabricated oral splint achieved a tension-free fit upon insertion.
    • Static and dynamic occlusal contact relationships were verified.
    • The patient reported a significant reduction in masticatory muscle tension post-treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • A purely digital workflow enables the efficient and accurate manufacture of adjusted oral splints.
    • This digital approach offers a streamlined process for producing customized occlusal appliances.
