Abstract

The objective of this article is to discuss the role of stabilization splints in overcoming the temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) experienced by a 24-year-old woman who came to the Prosthodontics clinic of RSGM FKG Unpad with chief com-plaints of pain and sounds that appear in the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) when opening the mouth, limited mouth opening, and muscle tension in the neck and face region. The patient wanted her problem to be resolved. The treatment procedure start-ed with the extraction of the impacted right and left upper third molars followed by a stabilization splint with a control dura-tion every two weeks. During the treatment phase, the patient was instructed to perform self-management therapy for elimi-nating the bad habits. After using the stabilization splint for 3 months the TMD gradually recovered. It is concluded that the use of stabilizing splints as occlusal therapy was considered an effective method in overcoming TMD.
