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.

Attending Dr Glassman’s lecture last year was eye opening and career-transforming for me. It changed the way I thought about Occlusion!

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?
This is an example of a lower NTI or SCI (Sleep Clench Inhibitor). This falls in to the category of an anterior mid-point stop appliance (AMPSA)
