Abstract
Careful management of the occlusion is necessary for successful prosthodontic treatment. A reorganized occlusal approach requires a more accurate registration of the desired jaw position, and where it is difficult to achieve this, an occlusal splint is indicated. This clinical report documents a 60-year-old man with a Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index Class IV dentition, who prior to a full-mouth reconstruction, underwent occlusal splint therapy with a Michigan-type splint that incorporated z-springs to allow concurrent orthodontic tooth movement of two anterior teeth to positions that would allow favorable restorations by correcting occlusal and esthetic form.
