ABSTRACT
The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the effectiveness of stabilisation splint (SS) with other conservative treatment modalities in the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). An electronic search in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane was conducted to find randomised control trials published on the management of temporomandibular disorders in English language from March 2000 to June 2023 along with manual search in the relevant Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, the American Journal of Prosthodontics, and the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation. A total of 64 studies were initially considered, out of which eight studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Furthermore, RoB-2 analysis tool was used for checking the risk of bias in the included studies. On comparing the readings and outcomes, only one study showed that the SS was better than the comparators. The review identified that there is weak evidence of effectiveness of SS splint therapy over other conservative therapies for the treatment of TMD. Key Words Splints, Conservative treatment, Pain measurement, Temporomandibular disorders.
