This study shows that a stabilization splint can effectively treat temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis pain in patients with complete dentures. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dental prosthetics
  • Temporomandibular joint disorders

Background:

  • Osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) can cause significant pain and dysfunction.
  • Pre-prosthetic treatments are crucial for managing TMJ osteoarthritis, especially in patients with existing dental prostheses.

Observation:

  • Two female patients with diagnosed TMJ osteoarthritis were evaluated.
  • Patient 1: 83 years old, 30 years of complete denture (CD) use.
  • Patient 2: 71 years old, 3 years of upper CD and a lower removable partial denture with a fixed dental prosthesis.

Findings:

  • Pain was successfully eliminated in both patients using a stabilization splint fitted on the upper complete denture.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was utilized for accurate diagnosis and to monitor the effectiveness of the splint treatment.

Implications:

  • Stabilization splints offer a viable, non-invasive treatment option for managing pain associated with TMJ osteoarthritis in patients with complete dentures.
  • This approach highlights the importance of considering prosthetic status in TMJ disorder management and the utility of MRI in diagnosis and follow-up.
