Introduction: The author (R. Wurgaft) has tried a unique way of splint therapy in the treatment of temporomandibular disorder. An orthopedic splint that only contact in the posterior occlusion, actually only the most distal contacts, is designed to distalize the mandible, and in turn to produce tissue remodeling of the temporomandibular joint. With this technique, it is possible to treat tempor...

A ConservativeMethod to Gutter Splint Ingrown Toenails Ingrown toenails can be due to trauma, improper nail cutting, and/or anatomic abnormalities of the nail apparatus. In the setting of normal anatomy, they are usually treated conservatively, but the presence of a sharp edge of the nail in the ulcer may prevent wound healing. Isolation of the nail plate from the ulcer bed using a gutter-shape...

~~Neuromuscular inhibitory effects were monitored in the temporalis and masseter muscles for ten patients with mandibular joint (MJ) syndrome. and ten control subjects with normal occlusions. Analysis of the electromyographic (EMG) silent period in the controls showed no significant difference between durations at median occlusal position, following placement of a maxillary acrylic occlusal spl...
