Benefits of QuickSplint for endodontic procedures:
- Helps dentists diagnose myogenous versus odontogenic pain
- Provides patient comfort overnight by reducing bite force and giving the instrumented tooth time to heal from apical inflammation
- Addresses jaw fatigue and minimises jaw muscle sprain/strain prior to, during and following long endodontic procedures
- Can help preserve tooth structure after therapy by avoiding the need to cut down the occlusion on the tooth or crown
