A prospective study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of occlusal splint therapy for the management of temporomandibular joint disorder.
This study recorded the activity of anterior temporalis and masseter muscles in patients with TMD using a transducer before and after conservative management with splint therapy.
The results suggested that VAS mean dropped from 21.2 to 11% for temporalis and from 12.6 to 7% for masseter.
The study concludes that the occlusal splints has a prominent action on muscles of mastication and can be effectively used in early stages of TMD.
