Comparing 3D-printed vs. standard splints for teeth grinding and jaw pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares a new 3D-printed splint with a standard acrylic splint for treating teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw joint problems. Participants wear the splint at night for 3 months to see which type works better.

This trial compares how well digital and conventional mouthguards distribute biting force in people with bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching). It aims to see which type of splint might offer better relief for jaw muscle pain and tooth wear.
This study compares three types of dental splints (mouth guards) to see which works best for reducing jaw pain. Splints are custom-made devices you wear over your teeth. One is made the traditional way, one is 3D printed, and one is a hybrid of both.
This trial tests whether a digitally made mouth splint works as well as a traditional one for people with jaw joint pain (TMD). It aims to find which method better relieves pain and improves satisfaction.
This trial tests using 3D printed bite splints during jaw surgery to see if they work as well as standard ones. The splint helps keep the teeth aligned during the operation.
This study tests two ways of making a custom mouthguard (occlusal splint) for healthy people. One way uses a wax bite impression, the other uses a digital scan. The goal is to see which method fits better.
This study tests two methods of making mouth splints for people with jaw joint pain or headaches. One method uses traditional dental molds, and the other uses a fully digital scan. The goal is to see which works better.
