Abstract
The mechanisms of action of oral splints are still controversial. Nevertheless, their use in the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) is known to help relieve pain and to protect tooth wear associated with bruxism. The use of articulators, the need for occlusal adjustments, and the laboratory steps to fabricate acrylic splints are associated with costs that are too high for splints to be used in the Public Health Service (PHS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of acetate oral splints in patients referred to the PHS Orofacial Pain and TMD Center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
