Role of Reflex Releasing Splint in Unilateral Crossbite: Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Posterior crossbite can result from skeletal, dental, and/or neuromuscular causes. Reflex releasing splint plays an important diagnostic tool in understanding the role of neuromusculature in these malocclusions which becomes central for treatment planning, treatment outcome and long-term stability. The current paper presents a case report which suggests how reflex releasing splint can be a vital diagnostic tool without which classifying of malocclusion and treatment plan would never be successful based on static records.
