QuickSplint Launches New Website
QuickSplint has launched a new website and expanded its product line to better serve dental professionals. The company's premier product, QuickSplint, is an interim dental splint that can be fabricated quickly and easily in the dental practice.

The new site was designed to better communicate the product's uses and benefits, and features expanded information for general dentists and specialists, including videos, animations, testimonials and downloads to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of parafunctional bruxism and jaw pain.

New, and available free to dental practices, is the company's Parafunction Risk Rating protocol, a universal grading system that helps treating dentists identify and chart parafunctional risk and severity. The company also introduced its QuickSplint Healing Note Pad, a convenient way for dental practices to provide patient instructions related to the post surgical use of QuickSplint. One of the many practical uses of QuickSplint is as a protective, stabilizing and healing splint for patients after undergoing periodontal surgery, implant surgery or other types of oral surgery.
