Twenty-five adult patients with temporomandibular joint anterior disc displacement with reduction of initial and intermediate phase were applied mandibular anterior repositioning splint therapy and changes in dento-facial skeletal pattern and facial profil were evaluated. By the use of splint, the differences in ANB, SNA angle; SE, Mo-MS, Ms-S dimensions; overjet, overbite and anterior facial height were found statistically significant. The changes occured in profil and GoGn-SN angle did not show significance.
