An occlusal splint (also known as an occlusal guard or night guard) typically costs $300-500 when purchased through a dentist. Some or all of the cost may be covered by insurance.
That price is for the high-quality, custom-fitted mouth guards, however. There are also cheap, over the counter models you can buy for around $10. These resemble the plastic mouth guards worn by football players. Typically, you boil one of these in water, then bite down on it to mold it into the shape of your teeth.
The custom-fitted occlusal splints purchased through a dentist are the most trustworthy, but for people who can't afford them, a "boil and bite" mouth guard often works well for things like teeth grinding.
The easiest method is to collect it in an upturned test tube, and place a lighted splint into it. If it goes out, pops, etc. it's not O2. If it burns much brighter, it is.
OXYGEN RELIGHTS A GLOWING SPLINT Oxygen.
A relights glowing splint is used in qualitative analysis to test for the presence of flammable gases. The splint is ignited and placed next to the gas being tested; if the gas is flammable, it will ignite the splint, indicating its presence.
Copper sulfate does not extinguish a lighted splint. When a lighted splint is exposed to copper sulfate, the flame may change color due to the presence of copper ions, but the splint will continue to burn as long as there is sufficient oxygen available for the combustion reaction to occur.
If a test tube is filled with oxygen when you put a glowing splint into it, the splint will relight. (To make the splint glow you have to light it then blow it out and put it into the test tube immediately.) Hope this helps. XD XD
The average cost of an occlusal splint can range from $300 to $800, depending on factors such as the material used, the complexity of the design, and the dentist's location. Additional expenses may also include initial consultation fees and follow-up visits for adjustments.
The cost of an occlusal guard (night guard) varies greatly depending on where you get it. A custom-fitted occlusal guard ordered from the dentist can cost $300-400 or even more. However, you can also find "boil and bite" mouth guards over the counter for $20 or less. In between, there are services that will customize a night guard for you based on impressions of your teeth that you make at home. A custom occlusal guard from the dentist will usually do the best job, especially if it's for an extreme clenching/grinding problem, or for TMJ problems. However, many people can't afford them, and over the counter options often work just as well.

An occlusal splint is a dental appliance worn over the teeth to help with issues like teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. It functions by providing a barrier between the upper and lower teeth to protect them from damage and encourage proper jaw alignment. The splint is custom-made by a dentist and should be worn at night or as directed to alleviate symptoms and prevent further dental problems.
Mesial Occlusal
You light a splint and then light the bunson burnor with the fire on the splint.
"Occlusal" refers to the biting surface of teeth, while "contact point" refers to the area where adjacent teeth touch each other. Occlusal contact points are the specific spots where teeth come into contact during biting and chewing.
This is the Occlusal surface
