The use of anterior mid-point stop appliances (AMPSAs) in Dentistry is surrounded with controversies and misconceptions, so I am joined by Dr Barry Glassman in this episode to answer this much debated question.
In this Episode with Dr Barry Glassman we discuss:
- To what extent are occlusions designed for Function?
- How much does Occlusion matter?
- Why canine guidance?
- Do Anterior midpoint stop appliances cause posterior teeth to over-erupt?
- When to avoid using AMPSAs?
- What mechanism is behind patients developing AOB after splint therapy?
