Systematic Review Evaluating the Influence of Veneering Design on the Clinical Outcome of All‐Ceramic Implant‐Supported 3–4 Units and Full Arch Fixed Dental Prostheses

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To systematically assess survival, failure, and complication rates of all‐ceramic implant‐supported monolithic and micro‐veneered FDPs (i‐FDPs) in partially/completely edentulous patients compared to veneered restorations. Materials and Methods An electronic search identified prospective clinical studies on all‐ceramic i‐FDPs with at

Occlusal Splint Therapy in the Management of Temporomandibular Disorders—Evidence from Systematic Reviews

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This umbrella review of 21 systematic reviews evaluates occlusal splint therapy for TMD. Findings indicate mostly small beneficial or neutral effects on pain and mouth opening. Consequently, clinicians should prioritise cost‐effectiveness and patient preferences when considering splints, given the high variability in methodological quality across ...

Effect of combination therapy of arthrocentesis and occlusal splint on nonreducing temporomandibular joint disk displacement

Biomedical Papers, 2015
Objective: Arthrocentesis of the temporomandibular joint is a minimally invasive method of treatment located at the boundary between conservative and surgical therapy. It is usually performed on an out-patient basis under local anaesthesia.

Long‐Term Survival Rates of Dental Implants in Patients With Disabilities: A Retrospective Clinical Study With up to 10 Years Follow‐Up

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Dental implants in patients with disabilities show high 10‐year survival (98.3%) when supported by principled screening and structured maintenance. This study reveals that while biological failure is rare post‐loading, frequent mechanical complications—predominantly decementation—remain a significant clinical challenge requiring vigilant long‐term ...

Modified mandibular splint therapy for disc displacement with reduction of the temporomandibular joint

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2013
Occlusal splints are a standard method to treat disc displacement with reduction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). They can be classified into three major groups on the basis of function: stabilization splints, distraction splints (pivot), and ...

Kinematical Effects of a Mandibular Advancement Occlusal Splint on Running until Exhaustion at Severe Intensity

Sensors
The effects of occlusal splints on sport performance have already been studied, although their biomechanical impacts are often overlooked. We investigated the kinematical changes during running until exhaustion at severe intensity while wearing a ...
