Anterior Deprogrammer

The Lucia Jig is an occlusal appliance named after Dr. A. F. Lucia, who introduced the concept in the 1960s.

The Lucia Jig anterior bite plane is used primarily to deprogram the masticatory muscles and help obtain centric relation by deprogramming muscles and allowing the condyles to sit in the superior position. This position is essential to the dental laboratory’s ability to fabricate an appliance that needs occlusal coverage accurately.
