abstract = {ObjectiveTo investigate whether the RW-splint could be used to guide or determine the CR position of the lower jaw so as to provide help for the later diagnostic design.Methods20 class ⅡⅠ malocclusion patients were recruited in orthodontic department of Foshan Stomatological Hospital. They were treated by RW-splint for half a year before orthodontic treatment. The overjet of anterior teeth were recorded before and after treatment.ResultsThe overjet of anterior teeth was (6.792 ± 0.795) mm before treatment and (7.720 ± 0.930) mm after half a year's treatment. The overjet of anterior teeth had significant difference (t=6.319, P ＜ 0.01). The overjet change of anterior teeth between before treatment and half year after treatment was (0.928 ± 0.657) mm.ConclusionThe RW-splint wearing before treatment can be used to guide or determine the mandible in the CR position.}
