Long-Term Results of Appliance Therapies in Anterior Disk Displacement with Reduction: A Review of the Literature

Physiological effects of anterior repositioning splint on temporomandibular joint disc displacement: a quantitative analysis

“…This signified that disc ‘re‐capture’ was only temporal in the majority patients. Findings in our study paralleled those of earlier ones . Although all displaced discs were successfully reduced with splint insertion, normal disc–condyle relationship was only observed in 40·6% of joints when the ARS were removed after treatment.…”

“…Despite the high occurrence of long‐term TMJ pain reprieve, the return of joint sounds was reported in most previous studies . This signified that disc ‘re‐capture’ was only temporal in the majority patients.…”

“…The apparent discrepancy in results may be attributed to differences in case selection and degree of TMJ arthropathy. Despite the high occurrence of long-term TMJ pain reprieve, the return of joint sounds was reported in most previous studies (4,8,24). This signified that disc 're-capture' was only temporal in the majority patients.…”

“…The exact physiological effects of ARS are still unclear and subjected to much debate. Two main theories exist pertaining to their usefulness in reducing TMJ pain, clicking and dysfunction . The first proposed that ARS reposition condyles anteriorly to catch or ‘re‐capture’ displaced discs, establishing normal disc–condyle relationships in the mandibular fossae.…”

Combined Joint-Jaw-Occlusion Therapy: A New Theory and Our Protocol

“…Развитие артрографии в 1970-х гг. и улучше-ние диагностики переднего вывиха диска способ-ствовало внедрению в практику переднего репо-зиционирующего сплинта для фиксации диска в новом положении [21,22]. После сплинт-тера-пии для удержания нижней челюсти в заданном положении требовалось ортодонтическое лече-ние.…”
