maxillofacial prosthetics. Artificial devices that replace missing body parts of the head and neck region due to cancer, surgery, trauma, or birth defects. Member – A Subscriber or an enrolled Dependent. Occlusal Guard – A horseshoe shaped piece of plastic which is worn over the teeth to protect them against damage caused by clenching or grinding. It works by creating a physical barrier between the patient’s upper and lower teeth so that he/she bites against the plastic rather than wearing down his/her teeth. Onlay – A custom-made solid substance that works like an Inlay but covers one or more cusps or the entire biting surface of the tooth. It is usually used when the tooth is too damaged to support an Inlay, but not damaged enough to require a Crown. Orthodontics – A dental specialty that treats misalignment of teeth. Open Enrollment Period – A period of time each year designated by the Group or by federal government, during which a Subscriber and his eligible Dependents may enroll for coverage under this Benefit Plan. For enrollment through the SHOP, the Open Enrollment Period shall be thirty (30) days or longer, as required by federal law.
