Role of Reflex Releasing Splint in Unilateral Cross bite: Case report

Abstract

Abstract: Posterior cross bite can result from skeletal, dental and/or neuromuscular causes. Reflex releasing splint plays an important diagnostic tool in understanding the role of neuromusculature in these malocclusions which becomes central for treatment planning, treatment out come and long term stability. The current article presents a case report which suggests how reflex releasing splint can be a vital diagnostic tool without which classifying of malocclusion and treatment plan would never be successful based on static records
