Abstract
A mandibular protrusion splint includes a maxillary splint part and a mandibular splint part, each of which have a laterally attached joint pin, and joint rods which couple the splint parts together in a movable manner. Each joint pin comprises a shoulder facing the splint part, a head facing away from the splint part, and a neck arranged between the shoulder and the head. The shoulder and head cross sections are larger than a neck cross section. Each joint pin holds a joint rod. The joint rods have a collar at each end. Each collar surrounds the neck in a mounted state. The collar(s) and/or the head(s) have a flexibility which, upon an excessive application of a laterally directed force exerted via a joint rod, allows a yielding movement of the joint rod and then allows the collar to slip over the head of the joint pin without being destroyed.
