| Popis: | Digital (electronic) axiography is an applicable promising technology with proven accuracy that allows registering the spatial location of the mandible and all lower jaw movements: mouth opening and closing, protrusion, left and right laterotrusion, dynamic function. In spite of bruxism treatment still being a controversial topic, occlusal splint application is proven to be the most efficient way of prevention. The purpose of the study is to develop a protocol of planning and producing preventive occlusal splints for bruxism management by means of digital axiography. The implementation of digital technologies reveals new possibilities in diagnosing, treating and tracking bruxism. With great attention to the individual trajectories of the lower jaw movements, the effectiveness of the occlusal splint prophylaxis is no longer hypothetical. |
