Occlusal Splints for Painful Craniomandibular Dysfunction

Addressed to those who treat patients with orofacial pain and craniomandibular dysfunction, the work is organised into two complementary halves. The first is operational: how to structure the approach in the surgery, the interocclusal record, fabrication of the splint, coordination training for functional rehabilitation and the risks worth anticipating. The second goes deeper into diagnosis, aetiology and the neurobiological and biomechanical basis of splint therapy, including functional magnetic resonance studies of its cerebral representation. An English text, intended for the clinician who wants to ground their decisions rather than settle for routine.
