Introduction: The author (R. Wurgaft) has tried a unique way of splint therapy in the treatment of temporomandibular disorder. An orthopedic splint that only contact in the posterior occlusion, actually only the most distal contacts, is designed to distalize the mandible, and in turn to produce tissue remodeling of the temporomandibular joint. With this technique, it is possible to treat tempor...

A ConservativeMethod to Gutter Splint Ingrown Toenails Ingrown toenails can be due to trauma, improper nail cutting, and/or anatomic abnormalities of the nail apparatus. In the setting of normal anatomy, they are usually treated conservatively, but the presence of a sharp edge of the nail in the ulcer may prevent wound healing. Isolation of the nail plate from the ulcer bed using a gutter-shape...

~~Neuromuscular inhibitory effects were monitored in the temporalis and masseter muscles for ten patients with mandibular joint (MJ) syndrome. and ten control subjects with normal occlusions. Analysis of the electromyographic (EMG) silent period in the controls showed no significant difference between durations at median occlusal position, following placement of a maxillary acrylic occlusal spl...

The magnetic splint and complementary adapted objects allow patients with high-level spinal cord injuries independence in retrieving commonly used objects. This device has proved effective for patients with high-level spinal cord injuries who are not presently using an assistive splint and who are capable of bringing the hand to the mouth, often with the assistance of a mobile arm support or ov...

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 study, the authors introduce the utilization of alar pinning with the external halo distractor for maxillary advancement, in place of an oral splint. Fixation sites within the alar crease allow for maxillary advancement while minimizing the visibility of pin site scars. They also eliminate the need for a custom-made oral splint, which prevents the patient from using the...

Middle meatal adhesions are considered the most common complication of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), ranging in incidence from 1 to 36%. Consequently the recurrence and persistence of symptoms increase, resulting in revision surgery in up to 25% of the cases. Although different methods have been attempted to prevent adhesions, each procedure involves some disadvantages and no stan...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of massage therapy on the masticatory muscles and occlusal splint usage on quality of life and pain in individuals with sleep bruxism. METHOD A randomized, controlled, blinded, clinical trial was conducted involving 78 volunteers aged 18 to 40 years with sleep bruxism. Quality of life and pain assessments were performed. RE...
