DEVICE: Denture, splint (06972677871525)

A custom-made, removeable, artificial replacement for one or more, but not all, teeth in the lower or upper jaw (mandible or maxilla) in a partially edentulous patient. It typically includes clasps of metal or plastic that clip onto remaining teeth for retention and stabilization. It can be made of a variety of materials including polymers [polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC)], acrylic, ceramics, and/or metals [e.g., base metal alloys or titanium (Ti)]. Also known as a removable partial denture (RPD).

A rigid or flexible prefabricated device intended to overlay the occlusal surfaces of the teeth to maintain the position of displaced or moveable teeth, to treat clenching and bruxism and their sequelae, and to provide temporary relief from muscle or temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) pain (e.g., from TMJ dysfunction). It is removable by the patient (e.g., during meals), and is typically made of standard, preformed materials that are not moulded, or intended to be moulded to a specific patient. This is a reusable device.

An orthodontic appliance, bonded or removable, intended to be used on a single patient to maintain teeth in corrected positions during the period of functional adaptation following corrective treatment. This appliance, also referred to as a positioner, is also used to maintain the positions of the teeth and jaws gained by orthodontic procedures.
