Abstract
A primary consequence of sleep bruxism is severe tooth wear. Although an occlusal splint is able to protect teeth, grinding may continue on its surface. This clinical report describes an approach to restore canine guidance on an occlusal splint, with amalgam, for a patient with sleep bruxism. This procedure allowed maintenance of the canine guidance for a period of time longer than 3 months, postponing the fabrication of a new splint.Entities:
