[Influence of the height of the occlusion splint in the treatment of dysfunctional articular syndrome].

The authors subjected 30 patients of both sexes aged on average 35.5 years with dysfunctional syndrome of the mandibular joint to clinical and X-ray examination. As monotherapy they used a temporary occlusion splint made from resin with a vertical dimension of 2, 4 and 6 mm and investigated its effect on the regression of complaints. The best therapeutic effect and most rapid regression of complaints was recorded in the group of patients with a 6 mm spleen.

Myofunctional therapy combined with occlusal splint in treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction-pain syndrome.

The objective of the present study was to relate changes in reflex-vegetative functions and phonetics to the etiology of temporomandibular joint dysfunction-pain syndrome. Myofunctional therapy associated with an occlusal splint had a very significant effect in relieving the pain and dysfunction caused by this type of disorder.

Management of a preadolescent chronic headache patient with occlusal splint therapy: case report.

Preadolescent children frequently report headache symptoms. Long-term, recurrent headache problems occur much less frequently and are often classified as migraine. This report describes an 8 1/2-year-old male who, after limited relief through traditional therapy over a 4-year period, was helped significantly with an occlusal splint.

Clinical effectiveness of occlusal splint therapy in patients with classical migraine.

A clinically similar entity to classical migraine is seen in certain dental patients suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain dysfunction syndrome. Patients selected for study gave symptoms of classical migraine on waking. Facial pain on waking is typical of some cases of TMJ dysfunction syndrome and the hypothesis was tested that some patients with symptoms of classical migraine were at the extreme end of the spectrum of dysfunction syndrome. However, rather than experience muscle or temporomandibular joint pain these patients had symptoms on waking which were typical of classical migraine. Nineteen patients with migraine symptoms were provided with acrylic occlusal splints for nocturnal wear. A good clinical response with considerable reduction in frequency and severity of pain attacks was achieved.

Pantographic records on TMJ dysfunction subjects treated with occlusal splints: a progress report.

Five subjects with TMJ dysfunction showed difficulty in making reproducible mandibular border movements as recorded by a pantograph. These subjects were treated with occlusal bite splints, and muscle activity was studied by electromyography. After one month of treatment, most subjects showed relief of clinical symptoms and improved EMG muscular activity. Most of the subjects' mandibular movements did not improve to the point of making reproducible border movements on a pantograph. The length of time and the type of treatment may have had a significant effect on the results. This should be investigated further.
