Temporary Hydrostatic Splint Therapy and Its Effects on Occlusal Forces

Occlusal information was obtained using the T-Scan device before the main intervention. This process was repeated three times to confirm the findings.

The hydrostatic appliance was removed from its packaging and placed symmetrically between the upper lip and the oral vestibule of the maxilla for the most comfortable position. After 30 minutes, the hydrostatic appliance was removed, and patients were asked to keep their mouths open until the T-Scan was positioned correctly.

The occlusal registration was repeated three times using the T-Scan device in order to confirm the findings.
