Patient Satisfaction in Occlusal Splints Fabricated Using Fully Digital Versus Conventional Workflow

The intervention involves the fabrication of 3D printed occlusal splint with fully digitalization technique by the aid of Jaw Tracing Device. The acquisition and scanning of the patients are done by using an intra oral scanner and designing them using a designing software. This device will be printed with a 3D printer utilizing printable resin material

For the comparator group, maxillary and mandibular impressions will be made with Cavex CA37 alginate impression material (Cavex Holland B.V, Holland), models will be poured with gypsum (Kimberlit, Type IV Dental Stone, Protechno Spain), facebow (Bio-art) record and interocclusal registrations will be recorded at centric by using bite registration material after patient deprogramming with Lucia jig. The models will be mounted in a semi-adjustable articulator (Bio-art, A7Plus, Brazil), wax pattern fabrication on surveyed and mounted casts to be invested finally to form a clear, heated-cured acrylic resin splint
