  • Abstract:
  • Temporomandibular joint disorders, also known as TMD’s, are complex set of disorders which are clinically manifested by pain near ear and limited out opening. Management of TMDs usually consists of conservative therapy and splint therapy. Splint Therapy is most commonly applied in the management. Hence this article aims to deliver a chair-side splint which helps to eliminate pain and subside other symptoms. The splint incorporates a thixotropic material in between which acts as cushion for the joints and acts as a shock absorber. The splint is easy to fabricate and can be delivered to the patient the same day.
