Background: This systematic review of the literature was to compare effects exercise therapy and occlusal splint on pain mobility in individuals with painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

Disease agents that principally target the tongue are relatively rare. It seems that type of food and roughage play an important role to predispose the animals to lingual ulcers. During a period of four years different aspects of cattle lingual fossa ulcer were studied in a semi-industrial dairy farm in Tehran. The affected animals showed various stages of ulcer formation in their lingual fossa...

The prevalence of torus mandibularis, Eagle’s syndrome and parafunctional activity was reported to be higher in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction and might be useful as an indicator of increased risk of temporomandibular disorders. This study case report was to evaluate a 62-year-old female patient, with limited mandibular and cervical movements, articular and muscular pain, ear...

background: fractures of femur are among the most important causes of mortality in musculoskeletal injuries. owning to lack of adequate research to compare various techniques of fracture stabilization, there has not yet been an agreement over a protocol to utilize a specific type of splint for femoral fracture immobilization. this study was thus conducted to compare the effects of simple and tr...

Okeson and others have proposed that statistical comparisons between groups of treated and untreated patients be used to evaluate the effectiveness of occlusal splint therapy. This article argues that valid between-groups comparisons cannot be made by most clinicians and that such comparisons do not satisfactorily guide the treatment of individual patients. An intrasubject replication design st...
