Summary

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are considered one of the most common diseases in the dental clinic. TMDs are considered a major cause of chronic orofacial pain that affects the patient's daily activities and jaw function.

Occlusal splints are the most commonly used treatment modality for TMDs because of their low cost, ease of use and broad indications. Traditional workflow is complicated, technique sensitive and time-consuming as more chair-side time is required for occlusal adjustments . Recently, the revolutionary advances in digital technology have been widely used in prosthodontics, including the use of scanners, jaw tracking devices and CAD-CAM technologies. The fully digital workflow can offer more accuracy and less time consumption . However, literature is still limited and inconclusive regarding the use of fully digital workflows for occlusal splint construction.
