Intermediate (interocclusal) surgical splint
Rigid acrylic occlusal wafer, fabricated pre-operatively from the surgical plan, wired/screwed between the arches to hold the osteotomized maxilla in the planned intermediate position relative to the mandible.
How it is used
Bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, typically after a Le Fort I osteotomy, to transfer the planned occlusion before completing the mandibular osteotomy.
