    Author: The GL, Aaftink HM, Steenks MH.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 2005 Sep; 112(9):318-21. PubMed ID: 16184906.
    Abstract:
    Occlusal appliances are used as a reversible treatment modality of temporomandibular disorders. This article describes a protocol to produce a stabilization splint with a minimum of chair time, and an improved compliance, aiming at an overall improvement of the therapeutic potential. Maintaining the existing occlusion in stead of using centric relation is part of the procedure. The main phases of the protocol are the initial clinical phase of impressions and recording treatment position of the mandible, the technical phase, the control phase, and the insertion of the appliance.
