Official title 3D-Printed vs Conventional Acrylic Stabilization Splints in Young Adults With Bruxism and Temporomandibular Disorders: A Randomized Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07433725
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This randomized clinical study will compare two occlusal splint (night guard) fabrication methods in adults with bruxism (teeth grinding/clenching). Forty-four participants will be randomly allocated to receive either (1) a 3D-printed splint manufactured from a photopolymer resin (Voco V-Print) or (2) a conventional acrylic splint fabricated using standard techniques.
