The nMB splint demonstrated superior effectiveness in reducing joint noise and improving patient comfort compared to the TB splint, while both splints exhibited similar efficacy in relieving joint pain and enhancing MMO. The nMB design offers a promising, patient‐oriented approach for conservative treatment of ADDwR.

Clear Aligners and Bruxism: A Systematic Review
This study aimed to systematically evaluate the relationship between clear aligner therapy and bruxism, including both sleep and awake bruxism, to determine whether aligners act as a neutral factor, protective agent, or risk factor. The findings indicate that no definitive conclusion can be drawn, as the current evidence is limited and contradictory ...

Influence of the color of 3D‐printed scan aids on the trueness of complete arch digital scans
Abstract Purpose To determine the influence of using 3D‐printed scan aids in varying colors on the trueness of digital scans. Materials and Methods A master cast with five multi‐unit analogues was scanned. The acquired dataset was exported to standard tessellation language (STL) file format to serve as the reference STL. 3D printing of the prototype in
