occlusal splints


Explanation:
To najczęściej spotykany termin. Ew. jeszcze 'relaxing splints', ale gugluje się słabiej. Po pierwszym linkiem są podane jeszcze inne nazwy.

Example sentence(s):
  • The most common and effective treatment involves protecting the teeth with occlusal splints.
  • There is insufficient evidence to either support or refute the use of occlusal splints for treating patients with tooth grinding or clenching during sleep (sleep bruxism).

Reference information:
Mouth guards and mouth splints

If you grind your teeth while you're asleep, it may help to wear a mouth guard or mouth splint at night.

Mouth guards and splints even out the pressure across your jaw and create a physical barrier between your upper and lower teeth to protect them from further damage. They can also reduce any grinding noises you make at night.

Mouth guards are similar to those used in sports such as boxing or rugby. They're rubber or plastic and can be made by your dentist to fit your mouth. You can also buy a mouth guard from your local pharmacist, but it's unlikely to fit as well as a custom-made one.

A mouth splint is made from harder plastic and fits precisely over your upper or lower teeth. They're no more effective than mouth guards in reducing the symptoms of teeth grinding. However, they're more expensive as they last for several years, whereas mouth guards usually only last for less than a year.
