Deprogramming Splint

The permissive splints allow the teeth to glide unhindered over the biting or contact surface. When this condition is achieved the neuromuscular reflex that controls the closing of the jaw in maximum inter-cuspation position is lost. Hence these splints are also called as “muscles deprogrammer”. Examples of permissive splints are bite planes (anterior deprogrammer, Lucia jig, anterior jig) and stabilization splints (Tanner, centric relation, flat plane, and superior repositioning occlusal splints).
