Summary

This study is aiming to clinically compare between occlusal splints produced by conventional, subtractive and additive techniques in regard to patient satisfaction.

Detailed description

The development of a digital (CAD/CAM) technology incorporating three-dimensional (3D) printing and milling enabled the use of different materials and manufacturing techniques. However, it should be noted that most of the evidence is based on in vitro studies with different methodologies, limiting their validity in daily practice. To the authors knowledge, limited data in the literature clinically evaluated occlusal splints produced by conventional, subtractive and additive techniques.

Conditions

• TMD
• Disc Displacement
