Effectiveness of a Novel Mono‐Block Splint Versus a Twin‐Block Splint for Anterior Disc Displacement With Reduction: A Randomised Controlled Trial

The nMB splint demonstrated superior effectiveness in reducing joint noise and improving patient comfort compared to the TB splint, while both splints exhibited similar efficacy in relieving joint pain and enhancing MMO. The nMB design offers a promising, patient-oriented approach for conservative treatment of ADDwR. Future studies will incorporate more comprehensive assessments, including MRI evaluation, and extend the follow-up period beyond 6 months to better determine the long-term therapeutic effectiveness of the nMB splint.

Abstract

The nMB splint demonstrated superior effectiveness in reducing joint noise and improving patient comfort compared to the TB splint, while both splints exhibited similar efficacy in relieving joint pain and enhancing MMO. The nMB design offers a promising, patient-oriented approach for conservative treatment of ADDwR. Future studies will incorporate more comprehensive assessments, including MRI evaluation, and extend the follow-up period beyond 6 months to better determine the long-term therapeutic effectiveness of the nMB splint.
