SCI 3
The SCI has become the most popular prescribed device. The range of anterior splints been developed to help reduce muscle activity that is the cause of clenching.
The patented splints are manufactured under license, and follow very controlled criteria in design of splints. For retention purposes we can offer various linings for any SCI splints, as standard we manufacture the bases with a soft inner lining and a hard occlusal surface.
The SCI3 splint is designed to contact the opposing anterior and canine teeth. It features a discluding element that has anterior guide planes and canine guidance, it can be made for either maxillary or mandibular arch.
Rationale
This SCI3 device use is varied:
- Diagnositically valuable (retoring canine guidance)
- reducing muscle hyperactivity (but can still encourage temporalis clenching due canine contacts)
- dis-occlusion of posterior teeth
- protection of dentition
- provention of further occlusal wear or trauma
Construction requirements
- Upper and lower impression (silicone based material is preferable for the arch the appliance is to be made on)
- Facebow registration is useful (We can work with most articulator systems, a Kois Facebow can be made available to loan if required)
- CR Bite Registration
