“…This patient was given a maxillary splint, because this is the only one which can reconstruct an individual anterior tooth guidance which has a proven additional muscle-relaxing effect. 12,18 For this we use the Contour Curve Former (CCF, Whaledent International, New York, NY, USA), with which characteristics of anterior guidance can be formed to the individual patient (Figs. 27 and 28; see also Fig.…”

The splint therapy is the most common and recommendable standard therapy for craniofacial pain. This type of therapy can obtain muscle relaxation and improvement of neuromuscular coordination. The aim of the article is to exemplify the clinical course of the dental diagnostics and splint therapy of patients with craniofacial pain. Summary: A patient with craniofacial pain was treated using splint therapy. The therapeutic approach consisted in eliminating centric and eccentric occlusal disturbances, rebuilding lost support zones, and changing the mandibular motion pattern in order to improve muscle tone and neuromuscular coordination. Successful implementation required that, in centric relation and therefore in the splint position, the condyle-disc unit should be still largely intact and the interarticular space not constricted. As a result of the splint treatment, the patient was free of headaches, TMJ problems, and tinnitus, despite continuing work in a very intensive and responsible occupation. Recently, the patient reported not needing the splint at all during a sailing holiday in the Mediterranean. Key learning points: This special type of splint therapy should be conducted in association with muscle massages and physiotherapy exercises, because the jaw relations must adapt to the premature contacts which arise on the splint at first.

Biometric study of contemporary human maxillary incisors and canine coronal morphologyThe orthodontic alignment or prosthetic rehabilitation of the upper anterior sector is based on available biometric data.The aim of this study is to measure the angle formed between the functional lingual surface of the canine and central incisor and the axial-orbital plane. Materials and methods This retrospective study is based on an analysis of documents of young dental students. The measurements were made on 49 silicone models of healthy, natural, functional teeth, in class I occlusion for the maxillary anterior group. Results The values of slope angulations of the lingual surfaces relative to the axial-orbital plane clearly decrease by 10° from the central incisor (57°) to the canine (47°).If there is stability in buccal morphology, there is variability in anterior lingual morphology, particularly of the canine.These variations in an essential zone on the functional level are marked enough to warrant being taken into account in clinical practice.
