HTL unloading splints

Advantages

1. Savings
   Thanks to optimised digitisation, this splint has the advantage of reducing the time spent on touch-ups and adjustments.
2. Durability
   The material used is sufficiently tough to withstand the mechanical loads to which it will be subjected on a daily basis.
3. Accuracy
   An Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm proposes the optimal splint design by analysing the biomechanical requirements of the patient.
4. Comfort
   The splint is designed with the minimum vertical dimension allowed by the patient's anatomy, in order to have the least possible impact on the TMJ, even down to a thickness of less than 1 mm.
5. Adjustment
   HTL customises the biomechanical requirements of each patient to achieve a precise adjustment of both occlusion and retention.

In-house design and manufacturing technology

• Obtaining the .STL models
  These models can be obtained by direct intraoral scanning (full digital flow), or by scanning the dental impression taken in the conventional way.
• Exclusive software
  The personalisation of the biomechanical movements of each patient makes it possible to find perfectly defined and adjusted antagonist contacts.
• Occlusion adjustment
  Simulates the seating of the splint in the patient's mouth. Both the design and the fit of the splint is micrometric. An entry vector is added to the splint, avoiding the need for touch-up to fit the splint in the mouth.
• Additive manufacturing
  Uses the most advanced and sophisticated additive manufacturing technology on the market. In addition, the material used has a very interesting capacity to respond to thermal stimuli, as it increases the comfort of the device when it is at body temperature.
