Many clinicians fabricate a stabilization appliance but are not sure how it should be used. In this lecture, Dr.
Okeson presents a step by step algorithm that gives direction to the clinician regarding the proper sequencing of
treatment for a stabilization appliance. Once the patient has successfully responded to the treatment, the question
that needs to be addressed is, “What do you do next?” Does the patient’s occlusion need to be changed? Dr.
Okeson reviews seven different ways a stabilization appliance may help reduce the patient’s TMD symptoms.
Once the patient’s symptoms have been reduced, the clinician will need to decide what, if any, additional treatment
is needed. This lecture will help the clinician determine if there is a need to permanently alter the patient’s
occlusion.
