U.S., July 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07079111) titled '3D Printed Occlusal Splints for Intraoperative Use' on July 21.

This alignment further places maxilla and mandible into proper position. An occlusal splint contains outlines maxillary and mandibular dentition allowing the teeth to lock into place with correct alignment.
At Johns Hopkins, traditionally hand-made and industry-made 3D printed splints have been used safely. However, prior studies have demonstrated the ability of in-house 3D prints...
