However, the effectiveness of this therapy relies on the patient's adherence influenced by various factors.

Of the 275 patients initially contacted, 200 completed the questionnaires. Adherence was self\u2010reported as the number of days the splint was worn per week and classified as high if worn at least 5\u2009days or if dentists' recommendations were followed. Statistical analyses included the Chi\u2010square test, Fisher's exact test, the Mann\u2013Whitney\n                      <jats:italic>U<\/jats:italic>\n                      test, and logistic regression to identify significant influencing factors.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>67% of the enrolled patients showed high adherence. Three factors were positively associated with adherence: a positive attitude towards splint therapy (OR\u2009=\u20091.6), perceived positive treatment effects (OR\u2009=\u20092.5) and regulated sleeping times (OR\u2009=\u20093.0). In contrast, lower adherence was associated with sleep impairment (OR\u2009=\u20090.3), respiratory impairment (OR\u2009=\u20090.1) and increased salivation (OR\u2009=\u20090.3).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Factors influencing adherence to occlusal splint therapy were identified during the critical early treatment phase.
