| Background and Aims: Temporomandibular disorders refer to a set of musculoskeletal problems that affect the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, and surrounding anatomical structures. These disorders are associated with symptoms such as pain, click, asymmetry, or reduced maximum opening. The etiology of many temporomandibular disorders is complex, for this reason the initial treatments must be reversible and non-invasive. The use of occlusal splints is effective in reducing symptoms, and therefore, it is recommended in early and even long-term treatment of these disorders. These appliances play major role in developing conditions such as stabilizing joint position, creating favorable occlusal conditions that lead to normal muscle function, and protecting teeth and supporting structures against dental wear. The purpose of this article was to present a comprehensive review of occlusal splints in Persian language. Materials and Methods: A search on Pubmed and Google scholar databases was done and the keywords "occlusal splints" and "temporomandibular disorders" were used. The inclusion criterion was articles published in English in the field of the types of occlusal splint between 1980 and 2020. Conclusion: In this review, the occlusal splints and their applications have been introduced.The success or failure of treatment with occlusal splints depends on various factors such as the correct selection of patients, the process of manufacturing, occlusal adjustment of splints, and the patients’ cooperation. |
