What this Trial Is About
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common condition with multifactorial etiology, including trauma, emotional stress, parafunctional habits, and occlusal discrepancies. TMD may be classified as myogenous, involving the masticatory and cervical muscles, or arthrogenous, affecting the temporomandibular joint structures. Management approaches range from noninvasive to invasive methods. The intraoral stabilization appliance (SA) is a widely used noninvasive treatment, while the ear stent (ES) has recently been introduced for managing myogenous TMD. Aim: This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of SA and ES in the management of myogenous TMD.
