Three-dimensional evaluation of upper pharyngeal airway, hyoid bone, and craniocervical changes following stabilization splint therapy in adult patients with temporomandibular joint disorders and mandibular deviation: A retrospective study.

Objective: This study aimed primarily to analyze the three-dimensional (3D) changes in the pharyngeal airway (PA), and secondarily, the hyoid bone (HB) and the craniocervical (CC) following stabilization splint (SS) therapy in adult patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) and mandibular deviation (MD).

Methods: Thirty-five adult patients with TMD and MD, who were treated using SS with a mean age of 25.14 ± 6.
