&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Cambria&amp;quot;,serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#f79646&quot;&gt;Information &amp; Methods:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Cambria&amp;quot;,serif&quot;&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Cambria&amp;quot;,serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#f79646&quot;&gt;Findings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Cambria&amp;quot;,serif&quot;&gt;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. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
