ABSTRACT:
The aim of this literature review is to present the main advantages of pre-prosthetic preparation of the masticatory system with occlusal appliances.
The possibilities for attaining muscle relaxation at the achieved centric condyle position in the temporomandibular joints are discussed. The advantages, in terms of hard dental tissue protection, the diagnostic value and the psychoprophylactic effect, are considered.
The wide-ranging benefits of the use of occlusal appliances in bruxism- and bruxomania-related craniomandibular dysfunctions are indisputable and represent a current scientific interest.
Keywords: occlusal appliances, craniomandibular dysfunction, advantages,
