SUMMARY:

The occlusal splints are used to manage temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and mainly to protect the patient from the damages caused by sleep bruxism. There are different confection methods for the fabrication of occlusal splints and only a few studies have evaluated the adjustment time for the installation step required for the use of the splint by the patient, and none that have also evaluated clinical confection and laboratory times. The present study aimed to evaluate comfort, and the clinical and laboratory time needed for confection and adjustment of the milled splint (MS) made by CAD/CAM and conventional splints (CS) in patients with bruxism. For this, a randomized clinical trial was carried out with 18 patients (13 MS; 5 CS) who had a probable diagnosis of bruxism through the application of questionnaires and clinical evaluation. The respective times for the clinical and laboratory stages were measured. Comfort was assessed using a visual analog scale after 30 days of usage. Preliminary results showed an average time in the clinical confection step for MS of 18 minutes and 47 seconds, and for CS of 44 minutes and 01 seconds. The average time of the clinical step required for the installation of the MS was 29min and 14 seconds, while for the CS was 43min and 06 seconds. An average comfort of 9.16 was presented for the clinical confection step for the MS and 7.6 for CS. Regarding the use of the splint after 30 days, the MS obtained an average comfort of 8.08 and the conventional ones of 6.8. The percentage difference between the time clinical confection step was 57% less and 32% less for the installation step favoring the MS group. Considering the comfort of the clinical confection step, the percentage difference was 21% favoring the MS group and in relation to its use it was 19% also favoring the MS group. In conclusion, it was possible to observe a great decrease in the clinical confection time when using the digital flow used to make the MS, and a considerable decrease in the clinical installation time. In addition, the MS provided greater comfort during clinical confection and usage.
