A completely digital workflow for an anterior repositioning device.

An anterior repositioning device is an occlusal device that has been commonly used to treat temporomandibular joint pain associated with internal joint derangement. The functional component of the device is a ramp that guides the mandible along its habitual arc of closure and then directs it to slide forward into the required position. Traditionally, impressions could not capture the closing path, leading to significant chair time during appliance insertion, as the ramp had to be manually adjusted. The present technique fully utilizes digital scans, including the recording of the closing path, to minimize chair time during appliance insertion.
