Dr. Aladin Sabbagh, Erlangen
CMD & Orthodontics: The Aqua Splint concept a new and effective interdisciplinary vision
Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is a multifactorial
disorder. Malocclusion alone is not always the main factor;
psychological factors, stress, trauma, but also connective tissue weakness,
cervical syndrome or hormonal factors (alone or combined) often play
a
major role. The newly developed Aqua Splint is a self-adjusting adaptable
CMD Splint, its hydrostatic aqua balance provide fast relief without
impressions,
bite registration, laboratory procedures or grinding also during the
MB-orthodontic treatment. It enables a simple differential diagnosis
and
effective therapy of the TMD, with a special focus on:
• Diagnoses and management of the CMD before/during/ and after the
orthodontic treatment
• How the bite determination using the Aqua Splint can improve the orthodontic
outcome.
• Avoiding retardation/ relapse in ortho due to TMJ laxity
• Interdisciplinary occlusal rehabilitation
• Avoiding iatrogenic TMD and high risk cases
The basic principles of this interdisciplinary treatment concept, its indications and restrictions, issues of retention and trouble shooting will be presented in a practiceoriented way, and substantiated by scientific evidence.
