Improving the Quality of Life for your patients
Most affected patients are completely unaware of their tooth grinding or clenching and its impact on
their dental and facial comfort. They are often amazed by the results of occlusal splint therapy.
The occlusion of the teeth has a significant part to play in the aetiology of cracked teeth, broken
crowns and fillings, tooth sensitivity, gingival recession, tooth wear and periodontal attachment loss.
There is increasing awareness of a causal link between occlusion and the occurrence of migraine and
other types of headache and neck pain.
Occlusion and associated temporomandibular joint function is a complex subject, beset with
conflicting opinions and approaches to treatment.
Occlusal splints offer a simple, reversible treatment and diagnostic tool accessible to the GDP to
increase the scope and predictability of routine dental care.

Helen Harrison BDS MFGDP is an experienced GDP, principal of a private
practice in Cambridge. She has constructed a team of specialist dentists
and DCPs to provide accessible and comprehensive dentistry in a primary
care setting. Her hands-on approach to diagnosis, care planning and
treatment co-ordination has enabled the adoption of innovative, minimally
invasive techniques to enhance both the outcomes and patient experience
of dental treatments.
Over 500 patients have been treated with occlusal splints in Helen’s practice as an integral
part of both complex and routine dental care.
Helen has lectured widely on team dynamics and business aspects of dental practice. Her
pragmatic approach to the introduction of new treatment techniques is underpinned by a sound
understanding of all aspects of dental practice from over 20 years involvement with the British
Dental Association, Local Dental Committee and Dental Nurse Training.
