  • Title: Occlusal splints and temporomandibular disorders: why, when, how?
    Author: Gray RJ, Davies SJ.
    Journal: Dent Update; 2001 May; 28(4):194-9. PubMed ID: 11476035.
    Abstract:
    Occlusal splints are one form of treatment in the management of patients with a temporomandibular disorder. Appliances are often used in conjunction with other forms of treatment such as physiotherapy or medication. A variety of splints is described in the literature and the dentist must ensure that the splint prescribed is of a design that has a proven success rate for the specific diagnosis. General principles that apply to the provision of all splints are outlined in this paper.
