Objective.
This study aimed at finding out whether the 3 mm thickness of stabilization splints has positive or negative effects on all temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms.
Materials and Methods.
The statistical calculation included 25 (22 females; 3 males) TMD patients who received 3 mm thickness stabilization splint therapy.
They were evaluated according to follow-up treatment period, TMD pain, muscle pain, mouth opening, diet score, and splint usage time per day.
Results.
There was important treatment success that 22 (88%) of patients were totally healed.
There was not any remarkable effect or advancement of splints on total healings of TMDs in first 3 months’ period (11/25 patients, 44%).
The mouth opening mean reached 38, 67 mm at 6 months and 41 mm at 12 months with remarkable success.
Except one (4%) patient, other 24 (96%) patients had a normal diet score of 3 at the end of splint therapy.
There was no correlation between splint usage duration a day and total healing of TMDs.
Conclusion.
We conclude that 3 mm splint therapy should maintain at least 6 months to achieve remarkable results.
Splint should be used at least 12 h a day consistent with our results.
Finally, diet score should be incorporated with TMD pain and amount of mouth opening; hence, we advise to use in one term as “total healing.”
