Abstract (673 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of stabilization splint therapy as a noninvasive treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders and to compare the effectiveness of soft and hard stabilization splint therapy.
Information & Methods: In this systematic review, initial literature search identified a total of 130 articles from Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Following the removal of duplicates, 101 articles remained for further consideration. After screening titles and abstracts and applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 15 articles were selected for inclusion.
Findings: Soft stabilization therapy is a viable treatment option, with both splint types demonstrating efficacy in alleviating temporomandibular disorder symptoms and improving jaw function. Notably, soft splints provide immediate comfort and pain relief, proving beneficial for short-term management, while hard splints excel in long-term symptom control, particularly for bruxism and severe cases.
Conclusion: Both soft and hard splints demonstrate efficacy in alleviating the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders.
