Trends of Occlusal Appliance Therapy among Resident Dental Surgeons
View through CrossRef
Objective: Current study was planned to assess the trends of occlusal appliance construction and selection, among the resident dental surgeons. Method: Data was collected from 51 residents at Fatima Memorial Dental Hospital, which were given a questionnaire that had 20 questions. The frequency of each answer was calculated and compared between residents of different departments and was analyzed by SPSS version 20. Results: The selection and construction of occlusal appliances among the residents was inappropriate. Soft occlusal appliances were the most selected and practiced appliance. Occlusal appliances need to be revisited in the literature with easy to practice guidelines. Keywords: Occlusal appliances, Soft occlusal appliances, Temporo-mandibular joints.
