Managing patients with coexisting TMD and deep bite is often complex. This study aimed primarily to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a novel posterior occlusal splint in improving TMD-related pain and mandibular function, and secondarily to assess overall treatment prognosis and changes in overbite.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study included 448 patients (355 females, 93 males) with TMD and deep bite, aged 11\u201366 years (mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD: 26.53\u2009\u00b1\u20099.93), all with full permanent dentition from the first premolar to the first molar. All patients were treated using a novel posterior occlusal splint. Clinical parameters-including joint tenderness, joint movement pain, push-back mandibular test results, maximum mouth opening, joint noises, and intermittent closed lock-were assessed at baseline (T0) and 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-ups. Overbite measurements were taken using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) at T0) and at the 6-month follow-up (T6).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The splint significantly alleviated TMD-related pain, including joint tenderness, joint movement pain, and positive push-back mandibular test results, and demonstrated a stable long-term prognosis with low recurrence rates (2.6%\u20135%). Improvements were also observed in maximum mouth opening. No significant changes were found in joint noises, intermittent closed lock, or overbite values, with joint noises showing occasional recurrence (7%\u201310%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The novel posterior occlusal splint demonstrated promising short-term and sustained benefits in treating pain and improving mandibular function in patients with coexisting TMD and deep bite.
