Abstract
Objective: The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of conservative interventions in pain relief in patients with intracapsular temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched until January 1st, 2022 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) presenting patients with diagnosis of intracapsular TMD according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD), conservative approaches as interventions, and pain intensity as outcome.
Results: Out of 3372 papers, 13 RCTs were included, with 844 study participants. Most of them (n = 7) investigated the efficacy of splint appliance. Meta-analysis revealed that rehabilitative interventions had a significant overall effect size of 0.75 [0.17, 1.34], reporting splint appliance and laser therapy as significantly effective treatments.
Conclusion: Findings of this systematic review with network meta-analysis suggested that conservative approaches might be effective in pain relief of intracapsular TMD patients.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
