Abstract

BACKGROUND: Occlusal splints are usually the first choice in the treatment of bruxism. Splints can also be the only treatment or can be ended with adhesive restoration, orthodontic, or prosthetic treatment. METHODS: This article demonstrates the steps of a digital workflow through the 3Shape Design system-splint studio. The initial units are virtual models, scanned by Trios Color Scanner (3Shape). RESULTS: The digital protocol includes eight steps that allow precise and detailed creation of the searched object. Each step is described from the perspective of a clinician, prosthetist and orthodontist, not a dental technician. Possible complications and ways to management with them are described. CONCLUSION: Digital protocol of occlusal splint creation gives many opportunities according to design, thickness, and occlusion.
