Improving the Quality of Life for your patients

Most affected patients are completely unaware of their tooth grinding or clenching and its impact on their dental and facial comfort. They are often amazed by the results of occlusal splint therapy.

The occlusion of the teeth has a significant part to play in the aetiology of cracked teeth, broken crowns and fillings, tooth sensitivity, gingival recession, tooth wear and periodontal attachment loss. There is increasing awareness of a causal link between occlusion and the occurrence of migraine and other types of headache and neck pain.

Occlusion and associated temporomandibular joint function is a complex subject, beset with conflicting opinions and approaches to treatment.

Occlusal splints offer a simple, reversible treatment and diagnostic tool accessible to the GDP to increase the scope and predictability of routine dental care.
