Application of fully digital occlusal splints in painful temporomandibular disorders: a randomized controlled clinical study
Digital occlusal splints effectively mitigate TMD-related pain and dysfunction, likely through synergistic mechanisms involving occlusal stabilization, joint structural optimization, and inflammatory modulation. This technology represents a promising precision-based approach for personalized TMD management.
