Filter by:The effects of endocrine disruptors (EDs) are well known. Therefore, the aim of this observational study is to analyse saliva samples from volunteers who request a bruxism splint, before, during and after fitting, to find out whether they are assimilated by the body, answering the following questions: - Do Michigan-type splints release endocrine disruptors or substances of particular concern? - In what concentration are they present in saliva? Participants will be asked to take saliva samples at different times over a period of 6 months. This will also be accompanied by the relevant clinical and oral history. A previous in vitro study is required, which is complemented by an in vivo study. The methodology is new in dentistry: super solvents which, combined with liquid chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (LC-HRMS), allows a wider range of substances to be detected, in a more ecological and simpler way, as they are not organic solvents derived from petroleum. The splint is chosen because it is an everyday treatment, which is increasingly in demand, especially after the pandemic. It is subdivided into two types, depending on the method of manufacture: injected and printed (more ecofriendly).
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of bruxism on Temporomanbular joint functionality and dysfunction severity in individuals with Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD).
Considering that occupational balance and bruxism are negatively affected by stress, this study aims to determine whether there is a difference in terms of occupational balance between individuals with and without bruxism.
to measure strength of the deep anterior neck muscles with a new measurement protocol and by using the NOD device, a dynamometer, in subjects with and without bruxism, and compared to EMG on the superficial muscles of the anterior neck and the masseter muscle.
Bruxism is a multifaceted phenomenon that has been associated with several factors mediated by the central nervous system3. Bruxism is an umbrella term grouping different motor phenomenon. 'Bruxism is a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible. Bruxism has two distinct circadian manifestations: it can occur during sleep (indicated as sleep bruxism) or during wakefulness (indicated as awake bruxism5. Sleep bruxism is considered to be a putative exacerbating factor, rather than a causative factor of periodontal disease and night-guards have been used as a counter measure. Since the periodontium in sleep bruxism patients suffers from excessive occlusal force for long periods of time during sleep, the function of the periodontium in such patients may differ from that in patients without sleep bruxism. Awake bruxism is defined as masticatory muscle activity during wakefulness that is characterized by repetitive or sustained tooth contact and by bracing or thrusting of the mandible.Given the potential impact of abnormal forces on the periodontium, understanding the relationship between bruxism and periodontal disease is crucial for the prevention and management of these conditions. This study aims to explore the mechanisms by which bruxism affects the periodontium and to assess the impact of bruxism in the outcome of subgingival instrumentation for the management of Stage 2 and Stage 3 periodontitis.
Aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin type A (Xeomin®) on patients complaining from bruxism. The study will be a one arm clinical trial. Twelve subjects reporting bruxism irresponsive to conventional treatment modalities will be recruited and will be injected with botulinum toxin A (Xeomin®) in both masseter and temporalis muscles. Pain levels, Electromyographic activity and maximum occlusal force will be recorded in the subjects before injection and at 1 and 3 months after injection to determine the effect of treatment
The goal of this observational study is to detect the prevalence of sleep bruxism in a group of Egyptian children and detect its relation to screen-time and sugar consumption. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. In a group of Egyptian Children what is the prevalence of sleep bruxism? 2. What is the relation between sleep bruxism and screen time and sugar consumption?
This study aims to detect the prevalence of practicing oral habits among a group of school children in Cairo, Egypt.
To determine the correlation between the occurrence of bullying, victimization, and deleterious oral habit in a group of Egyptian school children.
Psychological causes are often cited as the most important of the underlying factors for bruxism. However, there are very few studies that can objectively demonstrate this. There are studies that are generally based on subjective data, that is, on questionnaires that indicate anxiety or stress. Recent studies have shown that tryptophan and its metabolites are associated with psychological health. In this study, researchers will measure the serum values of metabolites in the tryptophan pathway. Also, researchers will observe whether these metabolite levels differ significantly in patients with and without bruxism.
