Abstract

To describe a technique for fabricating an additively manufactured maxillary occlusal device using a complete digital workflow. The maxillary occlusal device design may include an anterior platform to guide the positioning of the mandible in a reproducible position for facilitating the delivery procedure. The described technique provides a more efficient and less time-consuming method for designing and manufacturing a printed occlusal device, when compared with conventional fabrication techniques. The additively manufactured occlusal device designed with an anterior platform guides the positioning of the mandible in a reproducible position, facilitates the delivery procedures, and produces a more efficient and less time-consuming method when compared with conventional methods.
