Summary

This study is a randomized clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of conventional stabilization splints versus 3D-designed and printed stabilization splints in treating temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). TMD is a common cause of orofacial pain affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. The trial evaluates outcomes such as pain reduction, clinical improvement, patient satisfaction, and time efficiency. By exploring a fully digital workflow for splint fabrication, this study aims to provide evidence on whether the newer 3D-printed approach offers superior results to conventional methods in terms of clinical effectiveness and procedural efficiency.
