Fabrication and Insertion of Michigan Splints by Dental Students
Sponsor: Juliana Marotti Großhausen
Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the potential effects of different jaw relation determination (KRB) techniques on the fabrication of Michigan splints, in particular by comparing conventional methods with a wax plate and the use of an anterior jig. All materials and methods for the fabrication of the Michigan splint are already part of the curriculum of the Clinic for Dental Prosthodontics for first-year Master-students. Therefore, we intend to conduct a retrospective study (for the 2023 cohort) and a prospective analysis of the data (for the 2024 and 2025 cohorts). Questionnaires, models and intraoral scans will be used to evaluate the efficacy and precision of the different KRB methods as well as the fabrication process of the Michigan splint.
