Overview

Brief Summary

This study investigated the effect of stabilisation splints on masticatory muscle pain and sleep bruxism. Eighteen patients with masticatory muscle pain and sleep bruxism participated in this study. They were randomly allocated to either the splint group, who wore stabilisation splints during sleep (n = 9), or the control group (n = 9). Electromyographic activities of the masseter muscle during sleep were recorded at baseline, immediately after, and 1, 4, and 6 weeks after insertion of the stabilisation splint. Stabilisation splints had positive effects on both masticatory muscle pain and sleep bruxism, but effects on sleep bruxism were transient.
