Déprogrammeur Antérieur

Indications

Used to relieve muscle hyperactivity and assist in diagnosing occlusal issues by temporarily disengaging posterior teeth.

Contraindications

Patients with metal or acrylic allergies
Inadequate retention due to limited palatal anatomy or flat arch forms
Active TMJ pathologies requiring different diagnostic splints
Significant malocclusion not corrected by anterior deprogramming alone

Limitations

Not suitable as a long-term occlusal guard; intended for short‑term diagnostic use only
May cause posterior open bite if worn beyond recommended duration
Retention depends on anatomical undercuts, no additional clasps or attachments used

Preparation

Submit only an intraoral scan of the upper (or lower) arch; include opposing arch if required. Scan must capture occlusal contacts and CR position indices. No physical models or tooth trimming are necessary.

Turnaround Time

4 Days

Verification Steps

Internal inspection of the digital design for proper occlusal ramp height and flat anterior surface

Post-fabrication QC for surface finish, trimming, and symmetry prior to shipment
