Abstract
An occlusal splint having an occlusal plate portion, two sets of exterior prong members and two sets of interior prong members disposed on the occlusal plate to define a pair of channels to receive the upper and lower dental arches, the prong members configured to match either the interdental regions or the central crown regions of the teeth. The prong members are composed of a material allowing the prong members to flex when the splint is mounted onto the dental arches and then rebound to provide a biasing force against the teeth to retain the splint on the dental arches.
