What is the first-line, reversible treatment for myofascial TMD?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Occlusal splint therapy (stabilization/flat-plane)
Initial TMD therapy is reversible and conservative: patient education, soft diet, warm compress, NSAIDs, physical therapy, and stabilization occlusal splints. Arthrocentesis and surgery are reserved for refractory, intra-articular problems. Orthognathic surgery is a last resort for skeletal discrepancy, not TMD alone.9. Prosthodontics & Implants
