Occlusal splint therapy is a widely utilized conservative intervention for managing bruxism-associated myofascial pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. A prospective observational study evaluated 112 patients using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at baseline and after six months of nocturnal splint therapy to assess osseous and soft tissue TMJ changes. Thus, occlusal splint therapy effectively promotes joint space normalization and soft tissue recovery in bruxism patients with TMJ myofascial pain, irrespective of age and gender differences.
牙合垫治疗是一种广泛应用的保守干预措施,用于治疗与磨牙症相关的肌筋膜疼痛和颞下颌关节(TMJ)功能障碍。一项前瞻性观察性研究对112例患者在基线时以及夜间使用牙合垫治疗6个月后进行了锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)和磁共振成像(MRI)检查,以评估TMJ的骨组织和软组织变化。因此,无论年龄和性别差异如何,牙合垫治疗均可有效促进患有TMJ肌筋膜疼痛的磨牙症患者的关节间隙正常化和软组织恢复。
