Abstract

The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of the Lingual Ring Splint (LS), anterior repositioning splint (ARS) and stabilizing splint (SS) in management of anterior disc displacement with reduction (DDWR) for the relief of pain and improving mandibular movements. Thirty patients diagnosed with DDWR were included in this study. The participants were randomly assigned into one of three equal groups using a computer-generated randomization schedule receiving the assigned splint for each group, with specific instructions regarding the time of using it and exercises. Follow up was made after 1 and 6 months to test pain score and mandibular range of motion. Pain score improved in all 3 groups with statistical significance with better results is SS group than other two splints. Also, there was an increase in maximum mouth opening (MMO) with the highest measurements in SS group with statistical significance difference. There was no statistical difference regarding lateral excursion between all groups.
