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

Abstract

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.
