Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the potential effects of different jaw relation determination (KRB) techniques on the fabrication of Michigan splints, in particular by comparing conventional methods with a wax plate and the use of an anterior jig. All materials and methods for the fabrication of the Michigan splint are already part of the curriculum of the Clinic for Dental Prosthodontics for first-year Master-students. Therefore, we intend to conduct a retrospective study (for the 2023 cohort) and a prospective analysis of the data (for the 2024 and 2025 cohorts). Questionnaires, models and intraoral scans will be used to evaluate the efficacy and precision of the different KRB methods as well as the fabrication process of the Michigan splint.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Wax vs JIG Registration
The deviation (in micrometers) between the wax and JIG registration will be measured with the software CloudCompare.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Questionnaire
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Wax registration
The jaw relation for the Michigan-splint will be performed with wax.
JIG registration
The jaw relation for the Michigan-splint will be performed with JIG.
Interventions
The quality of the Michigan-splint will be analyzed according to different interventions (wax or jig jaw relation) and a questionnaire that quantify the occlusal contacts of the splint.
