Background: Nowadays, stabilization splints for the management of bruxism and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can be produced utilizing a digital workflow comprising a digital impression of the teeth, digital splint design, and computer-aided manufacturing of the splints. The latter is usually a milling process, however, more recently 3D printing gained popularity due to its better cost and time efficiency. It remains unknown whether 3D printed stabilization splints are inferior to milled splints regarding clinical outcomes.

- The Obese Taste Bud (OTB) Study aims to explore the relationship between taste perception, taste cell health, and obesity, using a cohort of participants from the University of Leipzig.
- Participants are assessed through various tests including taste and smell evaluations, body measurements, and collection of biological samples, with follow-up on weight loss interventions.
- Initial results suggest that metabolic factors, diet, and age may significantly influence taste perception, with the study intending to enhance understanding of how these elements contribute to obesity.
Background: Interdisciplinary multimodal pain treatment (IMPT) is an essential element in the treatment of people with chronic pain. Although IMST is defined in terms of content, it is evident that its practical design is very heterogeneous. This refers not only to the composition of the contents of the treatment but also to the concrete distribution of tasks among the professions involved.

Methods: A DSLU among final-year undergraduate dental students (n = 33), was developed and evaluated. The students were randomly divided into two groups (Group I, n = 17; Group II, n = 16).
