An anteriorly placed occlusal appliance that extends from cuspid to cuspid to help obtain centric relation by de-programming muscles and allowing the condyles to seat in the most superior position.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Orthodontie
CONT

Jig de Lucia. [Ce] déprogrammeur antérieur réduit l'intensité de la contraction musculaire et permet un repositionnement des condyles dans une position stable en recréant un seul point de contact incisif.

OBS

[Les gouttières partielles comme le jig de Lucia] permettent la déprogrammation neuro-musculaire et réduisent les tensions relativement rapidement; leur utilisation est réservée aux traitements d'urgence ou aux ajustements occlusaux, du fait du risque de migration dentaire.
