Summary

To evaluate the effectiveness of Michigan-type occlusal splint and anterior repositioning splint in patients with temporomandibular joint anterior disc displacement with reduction.

Conditions

  • TMJ Disc Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

Stabilizing splint

A 2-mm-thick, hard, clear sheet of resin will be adapted to the maxillary arch . Small amount of self-curing acrylic will be added to the anterior portion of the appliance as a stop for the lower incisor. The area of this stop is approximately 4 to 6 mm. The patient should be instructed to close in Centric relation . Self-curing acrylic will be added to the occluding surface of the appliance. All occluding areas, except the contact on the anterior stop . Excess acrylic surrounding the centric contacts is removed with a hard rubber wheel on a lathe. All areas, except labial to the mandibular canines, are flattened to the contact marks. This area will create the eccentric guidance.

DEVICE

Anterior repositioning splint

A 2-mm-thick, hard, clear sheet of resin will be adapted to the maxillary arch . Small amount of self-curing acrylic will be added to the anterior portion of the appliance as a stop for the lower incisor. The area of this stop is approximately 4 to 6 mm. The patient is instructed to protrude the mandible slightly and to open and close the mouth In this position. Self-curing acrylic will be added to the occluding surface of the appliance. All occluding areas, except the contact on the anterior stop . Excess acrylic surrounding the centric contacts is removed with a hard rubber wheel on a lathe.
