ORAL REHABILITATION Figure 25. When a maxillary splint is used, only the supporting mandibular cusps may contact the splint Figure 26. When a mandibular splint is used, only the supporting maxillary cusps should have contact points on the splint Figure 27. On this splint, the individual contacts of the antagonistic cusps are evident. The surrounding regions are formed as shallow hollows with initial degrees of freedom in all directions. Anterior guidance was formed with the Contour Curve Former (CCF), which is only possible with maxillary splints Figure 28. Using an auxiliary device for all conventional articulators (CCF), the characteristics of anterior guidance can be individually optimized for each patient and not necessarily when speaking at length (lectures, etc.); the splint must be worn during periods of stress. Re-examination and correction The first re-examination must be conducted within the first 3 days if possible, or at least H[\ۙB
