Blue Sky Plan Manual

The Anterior Deprogrammer is a flat plane occlusal splint with an anterior acrylic block designed to disclude the posterior teeth. Since the body has a protective reflex to prevent added pressure to the anterior teeth, when this splint is worn, less pressure is exerted. Blue Sky Plan anterior deprogrammers are represented by STL shapes that the user can manipulate.

Note that length parameters always measure the "perpendicular" distance. For example, the anterior and posterior length only measure the distance along the Y-axis (green in the application), as is shown in the picture, even though the 3D dragger is visualized to be hugging the side of the deprogrammer. S is the center point of the support (the plane on top of the deprogrammer). The guidance angle is the angle between the sideway parallel projection of the original position of the posterior vertex B, the center of support S and the current position of the posterior vertex B. Note that changing this parameter affects all parts of the deprogrammer except the support itself.

To add a deprogrammer, click on the Add Anterior Deprogrammer button. The user is able to choose the anterior deprogrammer shape from an existing list and adjust its location and manipulate its measurements. Remove Anterior Deprogrammer the button removes the anterior deprogrammer.

To create a new preset that allows you to save the current parameters of the deprogrammer, click on the Save button. A new dialog window appears with the Enter preset name option. Save your preset and see it in your presets. To show more options, click on the ... option. Here you can delete your presets as well as export/import presets.
