Bruxism is a disease with a multifactorial etiology. Its clinical manifestations are most often an unaesthetic smile with abraded tooth surfaces,
temporomandibular disorders and muscle hyperactivity. Here we present a case of
bruxism where proper articulation of the
occlusal splint was performed using the T-scan
Novus system. A patient with
bruxism underwent treatment with stabilization
splint made by 3D printer technology. Intraoral scanning was performed using Trios Color (3Shape, 2014), and the digital design was achieved using the 3Shape Dental system design -
splint studio. Formlabs Form 2 printer with biocompatible
resin Dental LT Clear Resin was used for printing. The T-Scan
Novus system with software attached to it, version 9.1, was used for digital examination of the occlusion. A 2.7 mm thick
occlusal splint was developed, and the software adapted the occlusion with antagonists. After adjustment with T-Scan
Novus, a reduction in disocclusion time of the patient was achieved, which is a desired result in the treatment of
bruxism. The position of the joint components was proven radiologically. The treatment of
bruxism with
splint therapy continues to be the main method of treatment. Using digital technology allows for more accurate constructions and precise balancing of occlusal relationships.
