FIGURE 2.

Occlusal views of the SOVA splint (a), and MI splint (b). Note the circular perforations in the SOVA splint. (c–f) Common SOVA splint fabrication errors (see text). (c) Rotation of splint. Perforations should be on buccal tooth surfaces, whereas non‐perforated portion of splint should be on occlusal surface. (d) Stretched material, evidenced by distorted perforation sizes (arrows). (e) Excessive material distal to second molar. (f) Excessive occlusal indentations from biting into splint during fabrication, despite instructions from manufacturer telling subjects not to bite into splint during fabrication
