Abstract

In recent years the relationship between occlusal stability, mandibular position and temporomandibular joint function has been greatly emphasized. Anterior repositiong splint has been used for the purpose of correcting a disk-condyle in coordination, so we have usually wed it in ease of the click of the temporpmandibular joint. We have used anterior repositioning splint in 28 patients who have chief-complain of click in symptoms of the temporomandibular joint arthrosis. At the patients who had long-lasting symptom and sign, late click or degenerative change of the temporomandibular joint, the anterior repositioning splint had less effect on than we had expected. So we are now to report that we must pay attention to use of anterior repositioning spint.
