Clinical Use of the Bradasch Technique for Mandibular Position Transfer in Asymptomatic Temporomandibular Disorder Patients

Background: Precise occlusal diagnoses and rehabilitation following temporomandibular disorder management demand reliable replication of mandibular positioning. The Bradasch technique provides a standardized method for transferring a therapeutically stabilized mandibular position to a semi-adjustable articulator. Objective: To describe the clinical protocol and methodological basis of the Bradasch technique for transferring mandibular position following neuromuscular stabilization using an occlusal splint. Methods: A patient with temporomandibular disorder underwent stabilization with a flat, smooth occlusal splint incorporating anterior and canine guidance. After 60 days of symptom remission, facial arch registration transferred the mandibular position to a semi-adjustable articulator. It calibrated incisal pin adjustment, enabling occlusal analysis in a therapeutic position. Results: The technique identified occlusal interferences and discrepancies between maximum intercuspation and orthopedic mandibular comfort position. This guided accurate diagnostic and rehabilitative planning. Conclusion: This case report illustrates the potential of the Bradasch technique to enable precise transfer of a therapeutically stabilized mandibular position using a semi-adjustable articulator. Although the outcome was favorable in this individual case, broader clinical studies are necessary to validate the generalizability and diagnostic utility of the technique.
