  • Title: Maxillary full-coverage appliance.
    Author: Wiygul JP.
    Journal: Cranio Clin Int; 1991; 1(2):39-53. PubMed ID: 1811809.
    Abstract:
    This chapter is a synopsis of the fabrication, indications, and contraindications of maxillary orthotics. The author combines his orthodontic training with his clinical temporomandibular joint experience to discuss a wide array of appliances. He divides these orthotics into two groups: permissive or deprogramming appliances (which include the anterior bite plane, posterior bite plane, and full-coverage bite plane) and directive or repositioning appliances (which include the centric relation splint, neuromuscular splint, anterior repositioning appliance, and activators).
