Talon Splint

Talon splint, also called an occlusal guard, night guard, and bit plate is a dental device created to facilitate a number of dental treatments. Talon splint is removable and is used for diagnosis or therapy as it can help patients who are diagnosed with bruxism, temporomandibular disorder (TMJ dysfunction), periodontal splinting, and orthodontic stabilization. The splint helps achieve occlusal stabilization and prevents any teeth movement when the mandible is closed.

TALON SPLINT FEATURES

Talon splint has become extremely popular among dental professionals and patients due to its unique qualities. It represents a perfect combination of the benefits that come with both a hard splint and a soft splint, in that way eliminating their disadvantages. As a result, Talon splint is much easier to create and reduces the time it takes to modify it to fit the patient’s mouth.

A part of the Talon splint that comes in contact with teeth is made of soft, thermoplastic polymer to provide comfort. The material we use here at Pindan Dental Laboratory is carefully chosen to match the body temperature and not add any discomforting pressure. The pliable thermoplastic interior bonds to a shell made of hard acrylic to enable normal occlusal adjustments.

To fit it in the mouth, the guard is first placed in warm water so that it would slightly soften and easily modify while still keeping its high retention properties. With Talon splint, there are no additional internal adjustments due to the custom-fit experience this device provides.
