          Abstract

          RESUMEN Los TMD son patologías que se presentan con frecuencia en nuestro medio, las causas van asociadas a factores como interferencias oclusales, problemas articulares, estrés y otras etiologías que provocan inestabilidad del sistema estomatognático; desencadenando una serie de problemas, con una manifestación común, encontrada a lo largo de esta revisión bibliográfica, el dolor. Objetivo: Analizar si las férulas oclusales controlan el dolor relacionado con trastornos temporomandibulares. Materiales y Métodos: Revisión sistemática, protocolo PRISMA, artículos científicos en plataforma electrónicas PUBLIMED, MEDLINE, WEB SCIENCE, SCOPUS, COCHRANE LIBRARY, 2009 a 2018, bases complementarias SCIELO, REDILYC, LATINDEX. Muestra total n = 59 artículos tamizaje, selección definitiva n= 13 artículos que cumplen los criterios de inclusión como palabras claves (Férulas, férulas oclusales, trastorno de la articulación temporomandibular, síndrome de disfunción de articulación temporomandibular); de los cuales 5 artículos son de estudio transversal y 8 caso y control. Resultados: n=13 artículos observacionales, casos y control, que indican en sus conclusiones que las férulas oclusales tienen un efecto positivo en los pacientes con trastornos temporomandibulares, disminuyendo considerablemente la sintomatología. Discusión: las férulas oclusales se consideran tratamientos placebos, que deben ser complementados con otras alternativas terapéuticas. Conclusión: Las férulas oclusales son dispositivos eficientes que cumplen con el objetivo de controlar la sintomatología en los pacientes que padecen trastornos temporomandibulares.

          ABSTRACT The tempomandibular disorders are pathologies that occur frequently in our environment, the causes are associated with factors such as occlusal interference, joint problems, stress and other etiologies that cause instability of the stomatognathic system; triggering a series of problems, with a common manifestation, found throughout this bibliographic review, pain. Aims: To test whether occlusal splints control pain related to temporomandibular disorders. Methods: Systematic review, PRISMA protocol, scientific articles on electronic platforms PUBLIMED, MEDLINE, WEB SCIENCE, SCOPUS, COCHRANE LIBRARY, 2009 to 2018, complementary bases SCIELO, REDILYC, LATINDEX. Total sample no. 59 sieving items, definitive selection n=13 articles that meet the criteria of inclusion as keywords (splints, occlusal splints, temporomandibular joint disorder, joint dysfunction syndrome temporomandibular). Results: n=13 observational articles, cases and control, indicating in their conclusions that occlusal splints have a positive effect in patients with temporomandibular disorders, considerably decreasing symptomatology. Discussion: Occlusal splints are considered placebo treatments, which should be supplemented with other therapeutic alternatives. Conclusion.Occlusal splints are efficient devices that meet the goal of controlling symptomatology in patients with temporomandibular disorders.

          The Hierarchy of Different Treatments for Arthrogenous Temporomandibular Disorders: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials

          Different treatment options for patients with arthrogenous Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) have been reported. However, evidence regarding the most effective intervention using network meta-analysis (NMA) has not been performed. Thus, we conducted a NMA of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) to identify the most effective treatment of arthrogenous TMDs with respect to pain reduction and improved mouth opening, and to generate a ranking according to their effectiveness.

            Occlusal stabilization splint for patients with temporomandibular disorders: Meta-analysis of short and long term effects

            Background Psychological discomfort, physical disability and functional limitations of the orofacial system have a major impact on everyday life of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). In this study we sought to determine short and long term effects of stabilization splint (SS) in treatment of TMDs, and to identify factors influencing its efficacy. Methods MEDLINE, Web of Science and EMBASE were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SS to: non-occluding splint, occlusal oral appliances, physiotherapy, behavioral therapy, counseling and no treatment. Random effects method was used to summarize outcomes. The effect estimates were expressed as odds ratio (OR) or standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval. Subgroup analyses were carried out according to the use of Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC/TMD) and TMDs origin. Strength of evidence was assessed by GRADE. Meta-regression was applied. Results Thirty three eligible RCTs were included in meta-analysis. In short term, SS presented positive overall effect on pain reduction (OR 2.08; p = 0.01) and pain intensity (SMD -0.33; p = 0.02). Subgroup analyses confirmed SS effect in studies used RDC/TMD and revealed its effect in patients with TMDs of muscular origin. Important decrease of muscle tenderness (OR 1.97; p = 0.03) and improvement of mouth opening (SMD -0.30; p = 0.04) were found. SS in comparison to oral appliances showed no difference (OR 0.74; p = 0.24). Meta-regression identified continuous use of SS during the day as a factor influencing efficacy (p = 0.01). Long term results showed no difference in observed outcomes between groups. Low quality of evidence was found for primary outcomes. Conclusion SS presented short term benefit for patients with TMDs. In long term follow up, the effect is equalized with other therapeutic modalities. Further studies based on appropriate use of standardized criteria for patient recruitment and outcomes under assessment are needed to better define SS effect persistence in long term.

              Efficacy of splint therapy for the management of temporomandibular disorders: a meta-analysis

              Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of clinical problems affecting temporomandibular joint (TMJ), myofascial muscles and other related structures. Splint therapy is the most commonly used approach to treatment of TMD, but its effectiveness is remains unclear. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of splint therapy for TMD in adults. The electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for reports published up to March 31, 2016. Thirteen eligible studies involving 538 patients were identified. The results indicated that splint therapy increased maximal mouth opening (MMO) for patients with a MMO <45mm and reduced pain intensity measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for patients with TMD without specific description (TMDSD). Splint therapy also reduced the frequency of painful episodes for patients with TMJ clicking. No publication bias was observed, as determined with Egger's test for all outcomes. On the basis of this evidence, we recommend the use of splints for the treatment and control of TMD in adults.
