Férula Dawson B

Indications

Used to deprogram muscles and stabilize the mandible in centric relation, aiding in occlusal analysis and treatment planning.

Contraindications

Patients with known acrylic or resin allergies
Severe vertical skeletal discrepancies that require precise repositioning beyond splint capability
Cases where full-contact splints are contraindicated or functional repositioning is inappropriate

Limitations

Intended for short-term diagnostic use, not long-term occlusal guard
May produce a posterior open bite if worn beyond advised duration
Retention dependent on anatomical undercuts; no clasps or attachments used

Preparation

Submit an intraoral scan of the maxillary (or mandibular) arch; include opposing arch if needed. Ensure occlusal contacts and centric relation have been recorded digitally. No tooth reduction is required.

Turnaround Time

4 Days

Verification Steps

Digital design review to ensure proper anterior ramp height, flat occlusal surface, and even posterior contact
Pre-milling quality check for condylar repositioning and occlusal fit in CAD
Post-fabrication QC to verify surface finish, symmetry, and accurate thickness before shipping

Material Options

Hard acrylic

Design Options

Full‑coverage splint with anterior flat stop from cusp-to-cusp, point contacts on central incisors, and occlusal ramp (approx. 2 mm anterior projection and 1.5 mm posterior opening) to ensure posterior disclusion.

Additional Services

Secure digital archiving of scan and design files for future remakes
Optional versions for maxillary or mandibular arch, depending on prescription
