  • Publication number: 20140060549
    Abstract: A pre-fabricated, pre-programmed or custom-made guidance package is provided. The Anterior Guidance Package (AGP) of the current invention is comprised of one maxillary guidance component and one mandibular guidance component. These components are attached to a maxillary retention piece and a mandibular retention piece, respectively when the mandible is in centric relation, to provide superior anterior guidance for the mandible. The AGP also provides immediate relief of centric occlusion/centric relation discrepancy (posterior interferences) when used as a night guard. In contrast to all other bruxism/TMJ splints, the components of the AGP according to current invention can provide a wide range of features for broad application, three dimensional patterning, steepness of inclination and many other considerations dependent upon the purpose being expressed. The primary purpose is to provide a superior anterior guidance equipped night guard for the amelioration of the damage and pain caused by bruxism.
