Goal Understand and manage theoretical and practical basis of orthopedic interocclusal appliances to establish a differential diagnosis and an accurate treatment plan dependent on articular disorders. Condylar repositioning splint: construction, indications, use and management 3 Piece splint: construction, indications, use and management Distraction splints: construction, indications, use and management Anterior splints: construction, indications, use and management Anterior bite plane: construction, indications, use and management Different treatments with different splints Important aspects to take into consideration before placing the splint Important characteristics in the fabrication of the splint before its use Treatment planning for the TMJ and the musculature The importance of achieving a stable condylar position in the fossa When to know if we have a stable condylar position Electromyographic analysis of the different muscular actions depending on the placed splint What we “do not” do in our treatments and why Condylar seating in a muscular-skeletal stable position (C.R.) Management of the vertical dimension with splints Management of the vertical dimension with orthodontics The importance of reducing the anterior vertical dimension depending on the TMJ and occlusal stability Diagnosis and Treatment of Bruxism Presentation of clinical cases Presentation of clinical cases by students Splints: - Splint placement - Splints adjustment - Splint diagnosis
