Influence of occlusal treatment on salivary oxidative status in chronic TMD patients

Evidence suggest that altered salivary oxidative status (OS) plays role in pathogenesis of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). When comparing to healthy individuals, differences in OS of TMD patients were found. Due to unknown etiology, heterogeneity of disorders and tendency to chronicity, conservative approach is the first, and often the only, treatment option for TMD. Aim was to follow up changes in OS and salivary cortisol (SC) in chronic TMD patients treated with occlusal splints over 3 months.
