Hard occlusal guards have been used effectively to treat myofacial pain originating from parafunctional activities. Also, they can protect the natural dentition when it opposes porcelain restorations, help to evaluate changes in occlusal vertical dimension during full mouth rehabilitation, minimize further tooth loss in patients with abfraction lesions, and redirect occlusal loads more favorably onto dental implant-supported prostheses. A simplified technique is described to fabricate a properly designed wax model of an occlusal guard that can be processed in acrylic in the same manner used to construct a complete denture.
硬质咬合保护器已被有效地用于治疗由副功能活动引起的肌筋膜疼痛。此外，当天然牙列与瓷修复体相对时，它们可以保护天然牙列，有助于评估全口修复过程中咬合垂直距离的变化，使伴有楔状缺损病变的患者进一步牙齿缺失最小化，并更有利地将咬合负荷重新导向牙种植体支持的修复体。本文描述了一种简化技术，用于制作设计合理的咬合保护器蜡型，该蜡型可以用制作全口义齿相同的方式在丙烯酸树脂中进行加工。
