Abstract

Occlusal splints, also known as bite splints or night guards, play a pivotal role in modern dentistry as therapeutic devices aimed at managing various dental and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This abstract provides a comprehensive overview of occlusal splints, covering their indications, types, and essential clinical considerations. Occlusal splints find application in a spectrum of dental and orofacial conditions. Common indications include the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), bruxism, teeth clenching, and malocclusions. Additionally, they are employed to alleviate symptoms associated with headaches, facial pain, and tooth wear attributed to parafunctional habits. Several types of occlusal splints are available, each designed to address specific clinical scenarios
