CE: 3D Printing of Thermoflexible Therapeutic Splints: Treating Bruxism More Comfortably
Yassine Harichane, DDS, MSc, PhD
While most 3D-printed dental devices are rigid, bite splints require flexibility to achieve patient comfort. This article describes advances made in the development of resins for 3D printing that have remarkably flexible properties, which can be used to manufacture comfortable occlusal splints for patients with bruxism.
