  • Group B exhibited significant improvement post-intervention, highlighting the benefits of restoring normal chewing patterns on TMJ health.
  • The study involved 67 patients, categorized by history duration of unilateral chewing, allowing for comparison of symptoms and outcomes.
  • Behavioral management and conservative interventions effectively improved TMJ functionality, pointing to potential treatment pathways.
