point stop device (AMPS) in the treatment of myogenous TMDs: Comparison
with the stabilization splint and control group
|
The above study provides photographs
of a typical AMPS device provided to 38 consecutive patients
complaining of myogenous TMD pain:
Although the article does state, "The AMPS devices prevented
posterior and canine occluding in all excursive and protrusive
movements. The point or the discluding elements were ramped
antroposteriorly to provide a smooth path in protrusion while
horizontally narrow enough to prevent the canines from touching it",
it is unlikely that 38 consecutive patients
were unable to achieve lower canine contact
on an upper Discluding Element, or were unable to protrude beyond
the extention of the DE.
Simply requesting the patient to "move their jaw sideways" is typically
not sufficient of a request, but rather, patient's must be encouraged
to "move your jaw as far sideways as you possibly can".
The patient whose AMPS device prevents canine contact in excursive
movement may suddenly be able to clench on the DE with a lower canine
effortlessly.
Therefore, the recommeded "default design" of an Enhanced AMPS is on
the lower incisors:
