Occlusal splints are often constructed to aid in treatment of temporomandibular joint meniscus displacement. Techniques for arthrographically locating the point of meniscal displacement and for fabrication of an appropriate occlusal splint are described.

Temporomandibular dysfunction is a benign pathology, with polymorphic expression and subject to multiple factors that participate in its etiology, which makes the diagnosis of certainty difficult. A wide range therapeutic options are available, including splints, physical therapy, pharmacotherapy (analgesics, muscle relaxants, anxiolytics, antidepressants, etc.)

Thermoplastics are useful for many types of splints, but most splints made from them position the hand statically and have the disadvantage of limiting the sensory feedback that occurs during normal use and movement. Neoprene is an alternative to thermoplastics when dynamic mobility in splinting is the goal. Neoprene is soft, stretchable, lightweight, durable, nontoxic, machine-washable, and ha...
