Do I need to consider the position of the temporomandibular joint when designing the final occlusal splint? Now the conventional method of making the final occlusal splint is directly made according to the STL format of the plaster model or select the location with the largest bite contact surface in the design software. BUT both of them do not consider the change of position of TMJ when the patient is lying supine. This problem has troubled me for a long time, so I am asking everyone for help. THANK you for attention.
