Anterior deprogramming device fabrication using a thermoplastic material.
Abstract
This article presents a simple and efficient technique to fabricate an anterior deprogramming device using a thermoplastic material. The material, softened by heating, is adapted to the maxillary incisors while moldable. The operator guides the mandible into closure as the material stiffens. The device is then trimmed, and a posterior centric relation record is made using the recording material of choice.
