Abstract :
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases and disorders refer to a complex and poorly
understood set of conditions, manifested by pain in the area of the jaw and associated muscles
and limitations in the ability to make the normal movements of speech, facial expression,
eating, chewing, and swallowing. The conventional soft occlusal splint therapy is a much safer
and effective mode of a conservative line of therapy in comparison to the surgical therapy
for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). The purpose of this article is to review the
AqualizerTM, an hydrostatic oral splint, as accurate, effective treatment and differential diagnostic
tool in TMD that allow treating the patient’s pain quickly and accurately saving valuable
treatment time. The review article has been prepared doing a literature review from the
world‑wide web and pubmed/medline.
