Spanish term or phrase: Neomiorelajante
I 'm translating undergraduate dentistry program study topics from Spanish (Colombia) to English (UK).
During the eighth academic period, one of the classes students take is Integrated Clinical Practice.
In that class, they carry out activities related to prosthodontics, surgery, occlusion, etc.
One of the occlusion-related activities is
"confección de placas (neomiorelajante)"

English translation:new generation muscle relaxant devices
Explanation:
Aunque el original no especifica "device" (literalmente, new generation muscle relaxants), tanto en inglés como en castellano el término (neo)miorrelajante remite a fármacos y no, como en este caso, a un dispositivo que pretende facilitar o promover un efecto miorrelajante. De ahí que plantee la adenda de "devices" versus la opción más literal. No obstante, como dicho, el contexto es claro con lo que "new generation muscle relaxants" funcionaría igual de bien -y de mal- que el propio original.

In the references there's a paper that explains this where the abstract is both in English and Spanish. The plate is used to reduce dislocations and muscle straining.

Reference information:
There is only 1 link to the term "neomiorelajante" which I suspect comes from another language, perhaps Portuguese, but the FB link alludes to "placas de bruxismho" (bruxism - habit of grinding the teeth). So, "manufacture of plates (bruxism)"
