Does the facebow affect the outcome of CAD/CAM occlusal splint. Randomized clinical trial

Background: Occlusal appliances can distribute aggressive loads which are generated by bruxism and can reduce their frequency. The facebow record, when used in the construction of occlusal appliances, helps in minimizing occlusal discrepancies. This study aimed to compare the effect of CAD/CAM stabi...

description Background: Occlusal appliances can distribute aggressive loads which are generated by bruxism and can reduce their frequency. The facebow record, when used in the construction of occlusal appliances, helps in minimizing occlusal discrepancies. This study aimed to compare the effect of CAD/CAM stabilization occlusal splint made with and without facebow for management of bruxer patients. Method: 24 Patients who were diagnosed as bruxers were randomly assigned into two equal groups and obtained maxillary CAD/CAM occlusal stabilizing splint recorded with centric relation either with or without using a facebow. The patient satisfaction using the visual analog scale (VAS) was recorded at baseline, one month and three months’ follow-up periods. The adjustment time of both splints, from the start of splint delivery until becoming well-fitted and occlusally adjusted, was calculated using a stopwatch. Results: The CAD/CAM occlusal splints with or without the use of facebow improved the patient's satisfaction with no statistically significant difference between both groups at baseline, one month and three months with p values of 0.73, 0.24 and 0.45 respectively. The comparison between the two modalities regarding the adjustment time showed no statistically significant difference between both groups (P = 0.06). Conclusion: According to the results of this study; no difference was detected in patient satisfaction and the time required for adjustment of CAD/CAM occlus.
