Summary

To evaluate the effectiveness of the stabilizing splint versus the pivot splint as jaw exercise together with stabilizing splints for treatment of TMJ anterior disc displacement without reduction

Conditions

  • TMJ Disc Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

pivot splint

A 2-mm-thick, hard, clear sheet of resin will be adapted to the maxillary arch . Small amount of selfcuring 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.
