Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study was to asses the effects of occlusal splints on controlling the postural position of the body in students of semester 8 to semester 12 at Shahid Beheshti School of dentistry
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel, non-blind, randomized groups, on 40 patients. Randomization.com website was used.
Settings and conduct
In this study, 40 volunteers with dental occlusion problems were examined in two groups of intervention and control (20 people in each group). First, using Alginate molding material, the impressions of upper and lower jaws were taken, and after recording the CR and face bow, the casts were mounted in a semi-adjustable articulator, and then a CR splint was made with transparent acrylic material based on patient’s centric realation. The Balance indicators was measured by Biodex device before the first session, after the first session and after one month.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The inclusion criteria included Non-compliance of the central relationship with the maximum intercuspation, the ability to walk at least 10 meters independently without the use of auxiliary equipment, having the ability to stand independently on the level 8 of Biodox balance device ; the exclusion criteria included having previous Neurological, Equilibrium and Labyrinth Diseases and having history of falling or fractures of the lower limbs in the last year
Intervention groups
The intervention group included those who received treatment for occlusal splints. This treatment, without any irreversible effect, leads the mandible to the position of the central relationship. The control group also included those who did not receive any treatment.
Main outcome variables
OSI, APSI and MLSI These indexes, measured by the Biodex device, are oscillation the center of gravity of the body relative to the zero point in different axes

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Medial-lateral stability index (MLSI)This number, calculated by the device, is the oscillation of the center of gravity of the body relative to the zero point on the medial-lateral axis. Naturally, the lower the number of index indicates the better the stability and lower postural deviation.
Timepoint
1. Before the intervention of the first session 2. After the intervention of the first session 3.One month after the first session
Method of measurement
The variable was collected by the Biodex system as a result of the sample performances.

2

Description
Anterior-posterior stability index (APSI)This number, calculated by the device, is the oscillation of the center of gravity of the body relative to the zero point on the anterior-posterior axis. Naturally, the lower the number of index indicates the better the stability and lower postural deviation.
Timepoint
1. Before the intervention of the first session 2. After the intervention of the first session 3.One month after the first session
Method of measurement
The variable was collected by the Biodex system as a result of the sample performances.

3

Description
Overall stability index (OSI)This number, calculated by the device, is the oscillation of the center of gravity of the body relative to the zero point on the overall axis. Naturally, the lower the number of index indicates the better the stability and lower postural deviation.
Timepoint
1. Before the intervention of the first session 2. After the intervention of the first session 3.One month after the first session
Method of measurement
The variable was collected by the Biodex system as a result of the sample performances.

Secondary outcomes

empty

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Those who have received occlusal splint treatment. Occlusal splint is a prosthetic appliance that is made using transparent acrylic (made in Acropars Factory, Iran) in the laboratory. This device directs the mandible to the centric jaw position.All samples in this group use this occlusal splint for one month.
