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 ...

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 ...

Occlusal Dysesthesia: Identifying Knowledge Gaps to Advance Clinical Care

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This scoping review highlights major knowledge gaps in the understanding of occlusal dysesthesia, including limited evidence on sensory, psychological and neurobiological mechanisms. Current theories remain largely unverified, underscoring the need for integrated biopsychosocial research to improve diagnosis and patient care.
