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.

Technique for fabrication of centric relation-based occlusal splint with central bearing device.
This study presents a technique for constructing an occlusal appliance. The central relation position must be located with Gothic arch registration. A central bearing post is fixed to the upper vacuum-adapted sheet and a registration plate is made for the lower cast. For the eccentric guidance construction, a prefabricated guiding ramp is secured just behind the most anterior point of the Gothic arch. The eccentric guidances, which harmonize with condylar movements, are printed by the mandibular canines on the surface of the self-curing resin as the post slides on the inclined surface of the ramp.

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.

Occlusion: 2. Occlusal splints, analysis and adjustment.
The first paper in this series covered maxillo-mandibular positions and jaw movement. This paper will describe the steps involved in carrying out an occlusal analysis and adjustment.
Reflections on the Michigan occlusal splint.
Specific features related to the development, design and use of the Michigan splint have been described. Additional benefits from the Michigan splint beyond what can be expected from conventional stabilization splints and bite planes have been suggested. Important aspects of corrections and maintenance care of the Michigan splint have been stressed.
