Abstract:

Nowadays, in order to promote innovation and sustainable product design and manufacturing of occlusal splints, the dental profession requires significant upgrades in the form of novel materials and cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. Researchers and Industry frontrunners are constantly challenged to improve the properties of splint developed using three dimensional scanning and resin printing to meet consumer demand, as the ability of dental practitioners to take accurate impressions remains a major obstacle in dental laboratories. The proposed study outlines a digital manufacturing proce

Abstract:

An occlusal splint is a removable appliance usually made of acrylic, that fits over the occlusal and incisal surfaces ofthe teeth in one arch, creating precise occlusal contact with the teeth of the opposing arch. Occlusal splint has severalfunctions, one of which is to temporarily provide an temporary occlusion that allows the temporomandibular joints(TMJ) to make the most othopedically stable joint position. Occlusal splint is also used to protect the teeth and itssupportive structure from abnormal forces that may create breakdown and/or tooth wear. Occlusal splint is reversibleand noninvasi

Abstract. Pathological tooth wear (PTW) is one of the most common forms of non-carious dental hard tissue lesions [4, 6], characterized by excessive loss of enamel and dentin due to abrasive, erosive, attritional, and functional factors. This condition is frequently associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction [6, 9], neuromuscular imbalance, and disruption of occlusal relationships. These factors significantly affect patients’ quality of life.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The term decreased occlusal vertical dimension refers to the reduced distance between two anatomical points while the teeth are in a state of occlusion. The development of this situation is about some parafunctional activities of the masticatory system.AIM: To evaluate the value of decreased occlusal vertical dimension in cases with temporomandibular disorder and to follow up the influence of corrective treatment with occlusal splints and definitive prosthetic construction upon the elimination of clinical symptoms.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight cases with decreased occlusal vertical d

Abstract:

Background Occlusal splints have been the preferred modalities in the management of myofascial temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), but now controversy exists in reporting whether they are successful for TMDs treatments. The aim of this study was to give objective evidence to the assessment of treatment effect of occlusal splints for myofascial TMDs patients by clinical assessments and surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements of masseter muscles (MM). Methods Thirty-six patients (12 males and 24 females) aged 16-57 (38±11) years participated in the study. All participants diagnosed with myo

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to compare conventional to digital workflows of occlusal splint production regarding time efficiency, overall fit, and wear. Fifteen Michigan splints were fabricated with a conventional and digital method. The duration for the dentist’s and the dental technician’s workload was recorded. Subsequently, the overall fit was examined with a four-level score (1–4). Paired t-tests were used to compare the time results for the conventional and digital workflows and the sign test to compare the overall fit.

Abstract:

Occlusal splint therapy for bruxism can be provided in a professional setting by a dentist; however, patients can also purchase ‘off the shelf’ appliances. Where appliances do not cover all the occlusal surfaces, overeruption of uncovered teeth can occur, leading to changes to the occlusion. Two patients are presented who noticed significant changes to their occlusion by way of lateral/posterior open bites and sought orthodontic treatment to reverse these. The changes had occurred after short- and long-term use of ‘off the shelf’ and custom-made occlusal splints, respectively. The patient in C

An alginate impression was taken from the upper and lower jaws of a patient with temporomandibular disorder owing to cross bite and wear of the teeth, and then digitized using a table laser scanner. The scanned model was repaired using the 3D ata E xpert software, and a splint was designed with the V iscam RP software. A splint was manufactured from a biocompatible liquid photopolymer by stereolithography. The system employed in the process was SLA 350. The splint was worn nightly for six

Abstract:

In dentistry, splints are often used as means of protecting teeth, ceramic restorations or for treating temporomandibular dysfunction. Digital dentistry has become a common tool involving the following: intraoral scanners, model scanners, design software, computerized milling or printing. Our study aims at comparing two different methods of producing an occlusal splint (milled and printed) with the end result of determining the most suitable solution for patients in terms of time, costs, efficiency, and medical results.

Among symptoms such as jumps, joint noises, reduced mouth opening (closed lock), difficulties in closing the mouth (subluxation or open lock), pain is the most common symptom encountered among patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders. As literature on this topic is abundant and sometimes controversial, the authors focus on reviewing the state of art of occlusal splints indications.

Abstract:

Previous studies have shown a significant higher prevalence of craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) in violin players compared with controls. CMD is related to increased muscular load in the muscles of mastication, the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles, which can possibly predispose to overuse syndromes. To examine whether CMD can also cause overuse syndromes in violinists, we investigated a group of 31 violinists by questionnaire, mandibular tracking, and a clinical examination to elicit overuse and CMD symptoms. The influence of CMD on muscular tension during violin playing was assesse
