Interventions
INTERVENTIONS:
1. INTEROCCLUSAL SPLINTS 9 (n = 14):
The occlusal splints were made of acrylic according to the laboratory routine in a clinical environment in the following sequence:
* First clinical
- Bite registration:
- Manufacture of plaster models
- Registration of the facial arch and assembly in semi-adjustable articulator.
For such procedures, an approximate time of 20 minutes was required.
* Laboratory procedure:
- Waxing and making the acr

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Muscle electrical activity (EMG), measured by one blinded instructor using a portable equipment (Miotec Equipamentos Biomédicos Ltda, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil) with analog-digital conversion board of 16-bit model CAD 10/26, sampling frequency of 20-500 kHz. Data collected at the baseline and 40 days after the interventions.;Quality of Life, evaluated by The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Data collected at the baseline and 40 days after the interventions. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain-related issues, evaluated through a framework of muscle and joint palpation adapted from the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC). The average time for completing this procedure was 20 minutes. Data collected at the baseline and 40 days after the interventions.;Stress assessment, evaluated by Lipp’s Inventory, registering the type of symptom (somatic – 37 itens or psychological – 19 itens), and its stage (the alert stage; resistance; close to exhaustion; and exhaustion). This questionnaire is a four-phase stress model, it was validated into Portuguese [Lipp, Lipp 2019]. Data collected at the baseline and 40 days after the interventions. | — |
