Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases and disorders refer to a complex and poorly understood set of conditions, manifested by pain in the area of the jaw and associated muscles and limitations in the ability to make the normal movements of speech, facial expression, eating, chewing, and swallowing. The conventional soft occlusal splint therapy is a much safer and effective mode of a conservative line of therapy in comparison to the surgical therapy for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). The purpose of this article is to review the Aqualizer™, an hydrostatic oral splint, as accurate, effective treatment and differential diagnostic tool in TMD that allow treating the patient's pain quickly and accurately saving valuable treatment time. The review article has been prepared doing a literature review from the world-wide web and pubmed/medline.
颞下颌关节（TMJ）疾病和紊乱是指一组复杂且了解甚少的病症，表现为颌部及相关肌肉区域疼痛，以及在言语、面部表情、进食、咀嚼和吞咽等正常运动能力方面存在限制。与颞下颌关节紊乱症（TMD）的手术治疗相比，传统的软咬合夹板疗法是一种更为安全有效的保守治疗方式。本文的目的是综述水均衡器™（Aqualizer™），一种静水压口腔夹板，作为TMD中准确、有效的治疗和鉴别诊断工具，它能够快速、准确地治疗患者的疼痛，节省宝贵的治疗时间。这篇综述文章是通过在万维网以及PubMed/Medline上进行文献检索而撰写完成的。
