Clinical Performance of CAD/CAM Occlusal Splints Fabricated With or Without a Wax Bite Registration in Healthy Adults (Splint)

2026年7月24日 更新者:Radboud University Medical Center

Clinical Performance of CAD/CAM Occlusal Splints Fabricated With or Without Wax Bite Registration: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial

Occlusal splints are commonly used to manage sleep bruxism, temporomandibular disorders, and tooth wear. Traditionally, a wax bite registration is used during the fabrication of CAD/CAM occlusal splints to determine the vertical dimension and occlusal relationship. New digital techniques allow the splint to be designed without a wax bite registration by virtually increasing the vertical dimension based on maximal intercuspation.

This randomized crossover study compares these two fabrication workflows in healthy volunteers. Participants will wear both splints in random order. The study will evaluate patient-reported comfort and clinical performance, including occlusal contacts, force distribution, splint stability, and the occlusal adjustments required during insertion

详细说明

Occlusal splints are widely used in the management of sleep bruxism, temporomandibular disorders, and tooth wear. The increasing implementation of CAD/CAM technology has improved the efficiency and reproducibility of occlusal splint fabrication. Conventionally, the vertical dimension and occlusal relationship are determined using a wax bite registration. Recent developments in digital dentistry now allow the vertical dimension to be increased virtually based on the patient's maximal intercuspation, eliminating the need for an additional wax bite registration.

Although both fabrication workflows are currently used in clinical practice, there is limited clinical evidence comparing their performance. It remains unclear whether omitting the conventional wax bite registration affects the initial clinical performance of CAD/CAM occlusal splints at insertion, before any occlusal adjustments are performed. Potential differences may exist in patient comfort, splint stability, occlusal contacts, force distribution, and the number of occlusal adjustments required. In addition, little is known about differences in patient-reported outcomes, including comfort, perceived occlusion, stability, and overall satisfaction during the period of splint use.

实验性的:Sequence B
Participants receive a CAD/CAM occlusal splint fabricated using a virtual increase of the vertical dimension (without a wax bite registration) for 3 weeks, followed by a CAD/CAM occlusal splint fabricated using a conventional wax bite registration for 3 weeks.
Intervention 1: CAD/CAM occlusal splint fabricated using a virtual increase of the vertical dimension CAD/CAM-milled occlusal splint fabricated from PMMA using a fully digital workflow. The splint is designed by virtually increasing the vertical dimension based on the participant's maximal intercuspation, without the use of a conventional wax bite registration. Participants will wear the splint overnight for 3 weeks (minimum 6 hours per night).
Intervention 2: CAD/CAM occlusal splint fabricated using a conventional wax bite registration CAD/CAM-milled occlusal splint fabricated from the same PMMA material using a conventional wax bite registration to determine the vertical dimension and occlusal relationship during the digital design process. Participants will wear the splint overnight for 3 weeks (minimum 6 hours per night).

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Participant-reported comfort
大体时间:From enrollment to the end of treatment at 7 weeks
Self-reported wear comfort by filling in a questionnaire. This scale measures the comfort of the occlusal splint (0-10), where "very uncomfortable" represents the worst experience (lowest score) and "very comfortable" represents the best experience (highest score). Minimum Value: very uncomfortable, Maximum Value: very comfortable. Higher Scores Mean: better comfort (more comfort)
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 7 weeks

IPD 计划说明

Specific IPD datasets, such as those underlying published results, will be shared. However, this sharing will occur under strict conditions to ensure data security and participant confidentiality. The data will be pseudonymized, using a secure key management system to separate identifiers from research data. Access will require appropriate agreements, ensuring compliance with ethical and legal standards, and will be granted only for research purposes aligning with the study's objectives.

IPD 共享时间框架

Beginning 3 months and ending 3 years after the publication of results.

IPD 共享访问标准

To ensure confidentiality and compliance, access to IPD will be restricted to authorized personnel involved in the research process, including the Principal Investigator (PI), specific research team members, external collaborators, and regulatory authorities. Access is based on each individual's role and necessity for the research. The PI will have full access to the IPD, pseudonymized data, and supporting documents for data management and reporting. Research team members, such as co- investigators, assistants, and statisticians, will have access to the data necessary for their assigned tasks. Access will be controlled through formal data requests, Data Use Agreements, and secure platforms. Pseudonymization ensures participant confidentiality while enabling the sharing of valuable research data for scientific progress.
