An interventional study of T-Scan occlusal recording No. I and Usage of the hydrostatic appliance in Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, sponsored by Lithuanian University of Health Sciences. Completed at 1 site in Lithuania. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-04-25.
Sponsored by Lithuanian University of Health Sciences · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
The goal of this non-randomized controlled trial is to analyze and compare occlusal force distribution patterns using T-Scan III before and after hydrostatic splint therapy on both healthy subjects and subjects with temporomandibular disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will:
Researchers will compare healthy subjects and subjects with temporomandibular disorders to see if hydrostatic splint therapy makes a difference in the distribution patterns of occlusal forces.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients diagnosed with no temporomandibular disorders.
Diagnostic Test: T-Scan occlusal recording No. I · Device: Usage of the hydrostatic appliance · Diagnostic Test: T-Scan occlusal recording No. II
Patients diagnosed with mild, moderate, or severe temporomandibular disorders.
Diagnostic Test: T-Scan occlusal recording No. I · Device: Usage of the hydrostatic appliance · Diagnostic Test: T-Scan occlusal recording No. II
Occlusal information was obtained using the T-Scan device before the main intervention. This process was repeated three times to confirm the findings.
The hydrostatic appliance was removed from its packaging and placed symmetrically between the upper lip and the oral vestibule of the maxilla for the most comfortable position. After 30 minutes, the hydrostatic appliance was removed, and patients were asked to keep their mouths open until the T-Scan was positioned correctly.
The occlusal registration was repeated three times using the T-Scan device in order to confirm the findings.
Change of percentage force distribution per sector.
Time frame: Change of percentage force distribution per sector at 30-minute of hydrostatic appliance usage.
Change of percentage force distribution for single dental elements.
Time frame: Change of percentage force distribution for single dental elements at 30-minute of hydrostatic appliance usage.
Plan to share: Yes — Yes, there is a plan to make individual participant data and related data dictionaries available to other researchers. In addition to sharing the individual participant data, we also plan to publish a scientific article in the Journal of Dental Research to disseminate our findings.
