Sixty patients of ADDwoR and dentition defect or severely worn teeth who visited the Department of Orthodontics and Prosthodontics of Hengshui People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected and randomly divided into denture occlusal plate group (group A) and denture occlusal plate + comprehensive physical therapy group (group B) according to the treatment methods. Maximum mouth opening (MMO) and visual analog pain score(VAS) among all patients were recorded before treatment and every three weeks during three months of treatment. Cone-beam CT(CBCT) was taken before and 3 months after treatment. The changes in clinical efficacy indicators before and after treatment and CBCT data between the two groups were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 26.0 software package.
