Abstract:
Eight subjects with a diagnosis of anterior disk displacement without reduction were used for the evaluation of the efficacy of conservative treatment using Disk Recapturing Bite Plane. Examinations were performed before and after treatment. The post-treatment examination revealed that this bite plane improved the structural bone changes and condylar dislocations. In addition, the characteristic chewing patterns of anterior disk displacement without reduction were normalized. These results indicate that the disk recapturing bite plane is one of the effective treatments of anterior disk displacement without reduction.
