Abstract

High mandibular plane angle cases with anterior cross-bite and cases with over erupted molars require occlusal bite blocks for its correction. On removal of fixed bite blocks, adhesive remnants inadvertently left over on the tooth structure requires meticulous clean-up and equilibration of occlusal tooth surface morphology. Stainless steel band material, light curable acrylic resin material, lingual sheath, 0.7 mm stainless steel wire, tungsten carbide bur are utilized for fabrication of hygienic bite blocks. After treatment of malocclusion, on removal of hygienic bite blocks the tooth surface is rendered free from any adhesive remnant. Hygienic bite blocks are amenable to oral hygiene care procedures and on its removal, leaves behind no adhesive remnants thereby saving clinician’s chair-side time.
