Claims and comments regarding the NTI device and protocol from leaders
in the field
The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare's Division of Stomatognathic
Physiology has advised Swedish dentists that based on the opinion
of their appointed
expert, Tomas Magunsson, DDS, if a
patient were to have an unfavorable occlusal outcome and file a
complaint with
the
government, the government may not be able to support the dentist.
Dr. Magnusson's concern stemmed largely from
his clinical observations of occasional presentations of an anterior
open bite of patients referred to his clinic. In some of those
cases, it was observed that although the desired seating
of the condyle to a more stable position had apparently
occurred, it didn't fully explain the maxillary plane of
occlusion, particularly the anterior maxilla. His hypothesis was
that there had been varying degrees of intrusion of the anterior
maxilla, either in whole or of only those teeth included within the NTI
device.
Dr. Magnusson's observations, as well as other
significant
contraindications for an upper device, has prompted NTI-TSS, Inc.
to recommend a lower device as the default design of
choice. Although the pursuit of the desired result of reduction
of parafunctional activity and subsequent seating of the condyles to
their most stable position is unaffected (rather, it appears to be
enhanced), it does reduce or eliminate the potential for rotation or
intrusion of the anterior maxilla.
