  • Title: Dental splint prescription patterns: a survey.
    Author: Pierce CJ, Weyant RJ, Block HM, Nemir DC.
    Journal: J Am Dent Assoc; 1995 Feb; 126(2):248-54. PubMed ID: 7860895.
    Abstract:
    A random sample of U.S. dentists was surveyed with a mailed questionnaire to determine the number of splints that they fabricated over the preceding year for bruxers, patients with myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome and patients with TM joint pain. The results indicate that a significant number of dentists treat these disorders with dental splints. Estimates are provided for the dental profession's yearly splint output for each disorder.
