| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of occlusal splint therapy on the electromyographic amplitude records (µV) of masticatory muscles in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) with myofascial pain and to detect a possible existence of a relationship between this effect and the treatment outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty patients (23 females and 17 males) having TMD with myofascial pain were included in this study. They were randomly divided into two equal groups (20 of each). The first group (A) was treated by occlusal splints for 6 months while the second group (B) acted as a control. A clinical assessment and surface electromyography (EMG) for the masticatory muscles were performed at the beginning of the study, then 6 months later. The collected data were statistically analyzed using paired t-test. The differences were considered significant at p < 0.05. RESULTS: The results showed that 85% of group A either completely recovered (35%) or clinically improved (50%) while only 20% of group B had a spontaneous improvement. In group A, the means of the electromyographic amplitude records (µV) of the monitored muscles have decreased after 6 months. However, the decrease was statistically insignificant (p > 0.05) in the patients (15%) who had no clinical changes. In group B, the means of the muscles' records (µV) in the left side slightly increased while those of the right side slightly decreased. These changes were statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Occlusal splint could eliminate or improve the signs and symptoms of TMD patients with myofascial pain. It reduces the electromyographic amplitude records (µV) of the masticatory muscles. The splint therapy outcome has a correlation with the electromyographic amplitude changes of the masticatory muscles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
