A service evaluation measuring compliance to conservative management with soft splint therapy and outcomes in patients suffering from temporomandibular disorder (TMD)

Introduction: TMD is a common problem affecting up to 33% of individuals within their lifetime. Only 5% to 10% of patients with TMD symptoms require treatment, with 40% of patients experiencing spontaneous resolution. A long-term follow-up study showed 50% to 90% of patients had significant improvement in their symptoms with conservative management and splint therapy.
