Digital versus standard mouth splints for jaw joint and tooth wear
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of mouth splints (one made with digital technology and one made the traditional way) for people with temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) discomfort. The goal is to see which splint works better and whether either affects tooth wear.

This study compares two types of custom-made jaw splints—one designed using digital technology and one made the traditional way—to see which better relieves jaw pain and improves mouth opening in people with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), a common condition affecting the jaw joint.
This study compares two ways of making a dental splint (a mouthguard-like device) for people with jaw joint pain or muscle pain. The goal is to see which method requires fewer adjustments, which may mean fewer visits and less discomfort for you.
This trial tests whether a custom mouth splint combined with jaw exercises can reduce pain in the jaw joint (TMJ). It may help people who have had jaw joint pain for at least 3 months.
This study tests if a digital relaxation program can help reduce jaw pain caused by temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It may be a good option if you have jaw muscle or joint pain and want to try a non-drug approach.
This study compares two different treatments for people who have pain in their jaw muscles (not the joint itself). It aims to find which treatment works better for muscle-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
This trial tests if a custom mouthpiece (occlusal splint) can relieve ringing in the ears (tinnitus) that started along with jaw or face pain (TMD). It aims to see if stabilizing the jaw helps reduce both the noise in your ears and the discomfort.
