About this trial
This crossover study aims to evaluate the wear comfort, retention, and stability of 3D-printed and milled occlusal splints in healthy subjects.
The main question it aims to answer is:
Research questions
\- How do healthy subjects experience the wear comfort, fitting, retention and stability of a printed and milled occlusal splint? and how do clinicians experience the fitting, retention and stability of the splints?
By systematically assessing self-reported outcomes, this research seeks to contribute valuable insights into the practical applications of both technologies. The findings may not only enhance our understanding of patient preferences but also guide future developments in the design and manufacturing of occlusal splints, ultimately improving patient care in dental practice.
