Occlusal Splints

Occlusal splints are precision-fabricated appliances used in the management of bruxism, temporomandibular disorders, and as protective devices following extensive restorative treatment. At SAP Dental Laboratory, we produce both hard acrylic stabilisation splints and softer dual-laminate designs, each constructed over accurately mounted study models to reflect the patient's existing occlusal scheme or a prescribed therapeutic jaw position.

The fitting surface is adapted precisely to the dental arch to provide full-coverage tooth contact and freedom of mandibular movement without deflective interferences — a level of accuracy only achievable through laboratory fabrication. Occlusal contact evenness and smooth canine guidance are verified on the articulator before dispatch, minimising adjustment time at the fit appointment. Dental practitioners across Melbourne refer their bruxism and TMD patients to our laboratory knowing that each splint will arrive accurately made, polished, and ready to deliver therapeutic benefit from the first night of use.
