title: Myofunctional therapy combined with occlusal splint in treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction-pain syndrome.
abstract: The objective of the present study was to relate changes in reflex-vegetative functions and phonetics to the etiology of temporomandibular joint dysfunction-pain syndrome. Myofunctional therapy associated with an occlusal splint had a very significant effect in relieving the pain and dysfunction caused by this type of disorder.
