How diagnostics is performed
The articulator makes it possible to mechanically reproduce the patient’s individual biomechanics and determine the optimal, safe position of the jaws - a key stage before any further treatment.
Work in the articulator
All changes are first tested on a splint, then (if necessary) on temporary restorations, and only after that is a final decision made about further treatment. This approach helps avoid severe, expensive, and often irreversible mistakes.
Why is a temporary splint needed?
Why is a temporary splint needed?
- protects the teeth and periodontal tissues
- reduces overload on the joints
- relaxes the muscles
- improves blood supply to the TMJ
- allows us to verify whether the chosen treatment strategy is correct at a reversible stage
Splint therapy
