Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To study the curative effect of two splint treatments on the symptoms of temporomandibular disorders. Methods: Forty temporomandibular patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, with the stabilization splint and the twin-block splint treatment. The patients’ pain index, the joint clicks and mouth degrees were collected: before treatment, treatment for 3 months, treatment for 6 months, and 1 year after treatment. The curative effect of two kinds of splints was compared. Results: The effect of stabilization splint on treating joint pain and limited mouth opening was better than that of twin-block (P<0.05). Twin-block splint on treating joint clicks was more effective than that of stabilization splint (P<0.05). Conclusion: Stabilization splint has good effect on the treatment of joint pain and limited mouth opening. Twin-block splint has good effect on the treatment of joint clicks. Two kinds of splints on treating temporomandibular disorders have different advantages and indications, respectively.

Key words: Temporornandibular disorders, Stabilization splint, Twin-block
