  • Added 07/12/2016:
  • 5. Only for group II: Pronounced occlusal interferences, i.e. (i) a forward sliding of at least 2 mm and/or lateral sliding of at least 1 mm with respect to centric occlusion; and (ii) an interference on the non-active side that is not accompanied with contact on the active side
  • 6. Only for group II: Feasibility of occlusal adjustment by grinding in a conservative way; assessment by mounting the patient’s dental casts in a semi-adjustable articulator

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1. Clinical and/or radiographic evidence of organic changes in the temporomandibular Joints
  • 2. Previous treatment with an occlusal stabilization appliance, occlusal adjustment, or physiotherapy of the masticatory system
  • 3. Other treatments for pain (also nonfacial pain) more recent than a year
  • 4. Predominant craniovertebral dysfunction (pain of neck and/or shoulders that predominates that of facial areas)
  • 5. Metabolic, neurologic, vascular disease, or disorders (eg, diabetes, neuralgia, migraine)
  • 6. Recent dramatic life event (divorce, bereavement, physical abuse by partner, incest, and victim of criminal assault) and/or psychotherapy and/or use of psycho-medication
  • 7. Odd sleep/wake cycles due to work shift
  • 8. Gross anomalies of the natural dentition: full/partial denture, loss of dorsal support, collapsed bite, extensive migrations, or morphological malocclusion (eg, cross bite)
  • 9. Only for group I: Pronounced occlusal interferences, i.e. (i) ) a forward sliding of at least 2 mm and/or lateral sliding of at least 1 mm with respect to centric occlusion; and (2) an interference on the non-active side that is not accompanied with contact on the active side
