A Comparative Study Using Two 3D Printed Occlusal Splints for Patients With Tempromandibular Disorder

A Comparative Study Using Two 3D Printed Occlusal Splints for Patients With Tempromandibular Disorder (A Randomized Cross Over Clinical Trial)

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 24 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Cairo University · Academic / Other
• Sex: Male
• Age: 20 Years – 50 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

• to compare the relief of pain for patients with anterior disc displacement with reduction between two groups; in the first group a digitally formed stabilizing splint followed by an anterior repositioning splint (ARS) and the second group a digitally fabricated (ARS) splints followed by a stabilizing splints

Conditions

• Temporomandibular Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	splints	* Scaning of the maxillary and mandibular cast in the centric relation. * The CAD/ CAM splints will be designed using Exocad s. * The design will include all maxillary teeth and the occlusal surfaces will be flat and smooth. * The difference in design between the ARS and the stabilization splint, is that the ARS will have an anterior ramp to allow for posterior disocclusion of posterior teeth, while the stabilization splint will not have such a pronounced anterior ramp. * Both splints will be printed using Dent2 3D printer and then cured using Dentcure. * All patient will be asked to wear their spints during sleeping only. * In each group, patient will be recalled after 1week,2 weeks 1,2and 3monthes then change for the other splint for another 3 months .
