AquaSplint Classic Thermo: Custom-Fit Occlusal Splint for TMJ Disorders

Description:

The AquaSplint Classic Thermo represents the latest generation of self-adjusting, factory-made splints designed for the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This ready-to-use splint offers a quick and easy, custom fit solution for TMJ diagnosis and treatment, eliminating the need for impressions or bite registration. Its innovative design utilizes a water-based hydrostatic system – two water-filled cushions connected by a tube – to provide dynamic pressure adjustment. As muscle tension shifts, water redistributes, creating counter-pressure that realigns the jaw and optimizes load distribution. Thermo-active material pads on the cushions allow for personalized molding to the patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring superior muscle relaxation.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Custom Fit without Impressions: Quickly adapts to the individual patient’s unique jaw structure.
• Hydrostatic Pressure System: Provides dynamic pressure adjustment for optimal comfort and effectiveness.
• Thermo-Active Material: Enables precise, personalized molding for superior fit and muscle relaxation.
• Fast & Easy Application: Simple, step-by-step application process minimizing patient discomfort.
• Non-Invasive Treatment: A comfortable and effective alternative to more invasive procedures.

Indications:

• Emergency Pain Relief
• Preventative Care
• Pre-Prosthetic Treatment
• Diagnostic Tool
• Orthodontic Diagnostics
• Adjunctive Therapy
• Post-Treatment Support
• Muscle Hypertonicity Management

Application Instructions:

1. Remove the splint from its packaging.
2. Immerse the splint in hot water (80°C/176°F) using tweezers for 2-3 minutes, until the plastic becomes transparent.
3. Cool the splint in cool water for 10 seconds.
4. Place the splint on the lower jaw and allow it to cool naturally for 5 minutes.
5. Rinse your mouth with cool water to accelerate cooling. Remove the splint once the material has hardened.
6. Trim any excess material causing discomfort.

Important Considerations:

• Minimum requirement: One second premolar or first molar in each quadrant (prosthetic teeth are acceptable).
• Patients with severe chronic bruxism may experience reduced splint lifespan due to potential biting.
• Expected lifespan: 4-6 weeks.
