Thermo-Splint also has a superior capacity for retention. After gliding over the height of contour, it reconforms quickly for a nice snug fit. In its ambient state, a Thermo-Splint Classic appears much like a hard acrylic splint. Hold it under hot water (130° - near boiling) for 30 seconds, and you’ll be amazed at how pliable it becomes!
In its warm, flexible state, the Thermo-Splint Classic glides effortlessly over the height of contour for easy seating. As it cools, it re-conforms to its original memory, engaging undercuts and offering excellent retention. With this softer feel upon insertion, and hard splint results when cool, your patients will love the ease and comfort of the Thermo-Splint Classic, especially when compared to a hard acrylic bite splint.
