title: Treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction with a visible light-cured resin overlay denture: a case report.
abstract: A woman presented with temporomandibular dysfunction caused by a marked overclosure of her mandible. She complained of pain and clicking noises in her temporomandibular joint. After initial assessment and treatment with a provisional occlusal acrylic resin splint, the patient was provided with a definitive overlay denture with visible light-cured resin as occlusal overlays. The denture was stable in the mouth and the occlusal resin material showed some occlusal wear at the 2-year examination.
