Summary

This study will test whether 3D-printed or milled occlusal splints are more comfortable and stable for healthy adults. Twenty-four participants will try both types and report how they feel. Dentists will also evaluate the fit. The goal is to learn which method works best for future dental care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
