This Cochrane review evaluated the effectiveness of occlusal splints for treating sleep bruxism (tooth grinding during sleep). The review included 5 randomized controlled trials that compared occlusal splints to palatal splints, mandibular advancement devices, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation, and no treatment. Meta-analysis found no statistically significant differences between occlusal splints and control groups for the single common outcome of arousal index. The authors concluded that there is currently insufficient evidence to determine whether occlusal splints are effective for treating sleep bruxism. More high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed.
