Systematic Reviews of Efficacy of TMD Treatment
The Translation of Scientific Evidence into Successful Management of TMD Patients
• Encourage clinicians to use of treatments that work and reduce use of treatments/ tests that do not work.
• Encourage clinicians to understand factors that contribute to treatment failure
• Identify the risk/ benefit ratio and minimize adverse events
• Insurers using EBC in decisions to cover a particular treatment or not
• Encourage RCT studies to be done on new treatments and tests and develop a high standard for evaluating new treatments by FDA.
Questions about TMD Treatments
• What treatments have an active therapeutic effect beyond placebo?
• How well does a treatment work compared to another treatment or no treatment?
• What patient characteristics or diagnostic subtype does the treatment work best with?
• What are the risks/ adverse events related to treatment and do the benefits outweigh the risks?
• What factors contribute to delayed healing and recovery

44 or more different TMD treatments with over 150 clinical trials with diversity in;• Study designs
• Treatment techniques
• Study populations
• Outcome measures
• Success rates
Reviewing the TMD scientific literature
Clinicians are faced a confusing array of available literature if they choose to make evidence-based clinical decisions
• Identify either meta-analysis of RCT or treatments
with at least one randomized clinical trial (RCTs)
• Compare the outcomes and characteristics of RCTs
• Evaluate the quality of methods used in each RCT
• Capture results qualitatively and quantitatively
• Conduct meta-analysis and Forrest Plot when
possible

Critical Assessment of Method Quality
• 21 Criteria from CONSORT (Consolidation of the
Standards of Reporting Trials, 2001)
• Operationally defined and tested for reliability (intraclass
correlation coefficient for inter-rater reliability was 0.85)
• Applied to each TMD RCT
• Quantitative and qualitative review

Stabilization Splint
• Design:Maxillary or mandibular full coverage
• Adjustment: even posterior contact at closure, anterior guidance, and canine guidance or group function in lateral excursions with no balancing side contacts.
• Constructed to guided jaw position and postural rest position (reclined and sitting)
• Better result if it is combined other treatment modalities (self care, exercise, behavioral therapy)
• Works best in patients with high levels of pain but can be used with all levels of severity
Page 5
Take Home:Stabilization Splint
• Can treat muscle, joint pain, and headache
• Effective even when used only at night
• Better result if it is combined other treatment modalities (self care, exercise, behavioral therapy)
• Works best in patients with high levels of pain but can be used with all levels of severity
Anterior Bite Plane SplintDesign: A maxillary of mandibular hard splint allowing contact of only one of more anterior teeth. The posterior teeth do not contact.
Other names: NTI® splint, Anterior jig, Luca jig, Hawley with biteplane or anterior deprogrammer.
Suggested Indications:
• Headache and muscle pain
• Eliminate proprioceptive feedback from the posterior teeth
• Reduce oral habits and muscle activity

Take Home: Anterior Bite Plane
•Good results in treating TMJD and headache
•Efficacy equal to stabilization splint
•Better results if it is used in combination with other
treatment modalities
• It may cause anterior bite changes if worn full time
•Consider stabilization splint first for lower risk
How does occlusion relate to TMD?
1. TMD can cause malocclusion
2. TMD treatment can cause iatrogenic malocclusion
3. Malocclusion can complicate TMD treatment
4. Occlusal treatments can be used to treat TMD and occlusal consequences
Occlusal Consequences of TMD
TMD can lead to malocclusion by changing the position of the mandible relative to the maxilla including:
• Lateral pterygoid spasm
• TMJ degenerative joint disease and disk disorder in some cases
• TMJ hyperplasia or hypoplasia
• Uncontrolled bruxism and tooth wear
Page 7
Iatrogenic Malocclusion from TMD Treatment
Malocclusion may result unintentionally from some TMD
treatments from changing the position of the teeth or the
mandible relative to the maxilla including;
• Partial coverage splints that intrude teeth and cause
anterior or posterior open bite
• Full time use of anterior repositioning splints that cause
anterior prematurities and posterior open bite
• Occlusal shifts from unstable joints after flat plane splints
or orthodontics can result in open bite or cross bites
Permanent posterior open bite from full time use of partial coverage posterior splint. Open bite due to anterior positioning of jaw and/or impaction of posterior teeth
Partial coverage splints
Malocclusion as a contributing factor in TMD
In some cases, TMD is associated with malocclusion. The most commonly cited occlusal factors include;
• Loss of posterior support
• Unilateral prematurities
• Long slide in centric
• Non working interferences
• Unilateral posterior lingual crossbite
• Anterior open bite
• Most occlusal factors are amplified by oral habits
Page 8
Occlusal dysharmony is only an associated factor in many cross sectional and longitudinal studies
(NS, P≥.05)(NS, P≥.05)(NS, P≥.05)
Occlusal TherapyOcclusal treatment such as occlusal
adjustment, restorative dentistry and
orthodontics (9 RCTs) has been
suggested to provide occlusal stability
for the muscles and joint and reduce
eccentric forces

Take Home: Occlusal Treatments
Occlusal adjustment no better than placebo adjustment in treating TMD pain.
Occlusal treatment should be reserved for cases when;
• Occlusion is the complaint i.e. uncomfortable bite after oral habits are treated.
• After restorative, orthodontics, or other occlusaltreatment to ensure occlusion is comfortable and functional
• Aesthetic and functional reasons
What Other TMD Treatments Work?

Stabilization (hard and soft), repositioning and anterior splints, occlusal adjustment, restorative dentistry, and functional orthodontic splints
Physical medicine and exercise (45 RCTs)
PT modalities, stretching, posture, isometrics, functional, conditioning

Exercises for TMD
Exercises are designed to:
1. improve range of motion
2. Reduce muscle and joint pain
3. Improve muscle relaxation
4. Improve posture and postural habits
5. Improve muscle function
6. Improve muscle strength and conditioning

Therapeutic Exercises
Jaw exercise (13 RCTs) has been found to improve range of motion of muscles and joints, relax muscles, improve posture and encourage healing

Forest plot from meta-analysis comparing exercise vs placebo for TMD treatment (n=150)
Conclusion: Exercise show greater improvement than placebo in treating TMD pain and headache. Stretching and posture exercise should be used in cases of myofascial pain and TMJ pain disorders with limited range of motion.
Results shows exercise over placebo

Take Home: Medications
• NSAID, tricylics, and muscle relaxants improve muscle, joint pain, and headache
• Can have adverse events if used long term (e.g. GI, rebound pain)
• Better result if used short term and combined other treatment modalities (self care, exercise, behavioral therapy)
• Personal Experience: Clonazepam (0.5mg HS) and cyclobenzaprine (10mg hs) works well in patients with high levels of pain, anxiety, and nocturnal habits

Take Home: The Need for Integrative Care
What treatments have an active therapeutic effect beyond placebo?
• Splints, Exercise, Medication, and Behavioral therapy all have significant effects.
• They have a synergistic effect if used together in a multi-modal approach to treatment
• Thus, use a team with complex patients
• Establish a problem list and treatment plan upfront
