This research compares between the effect of flexible and hard stabilization splint (night guard, mouth guard) in the treatment of patients with tempro-mandibular joint problems.
Four different categories of patients are used for comparison, each composed of ten patients. Category number one and two are treated with flexible mouth guard, while category three and four are treated with hard type of mouth guard for the same periods of time, one month and three months respectively. Analysis of the results indicate that patient category treated with soft stabilization splints for longer period of time show improved treatment and the patients are more relived and willing to continue the treatment than those treated with hard splints.
