Filter by:The aims of this study were to determine the relationship between sleep bruxism, oral habits, and sleep habits and establish treatment approaches in children.
Excess consumption of refined sugar and increased use of recreational screen time are risk factors for alterations in the quality of life that have been associated with sleep bruxism in children and that compromise the same mechanisms of alteration of the reward system in the brain. Therefore, the question of this research is: What is the effect of the Intervention "Food, Fun and Family (FFF)" on the frequency of sleep bruxism in children? The general objective of the research is to evaluate the effect of the Intervention "Food, Fun and Family (FFF)" on the frequency of sleep bruxism in 84 children who attend the pediatric dentistry postgraduate clinic of the CES University and the private consultation Dr. Claudia Restrepo and Dr. Adriana Santamaría. The frequency of sleep bruxism will be evaluated with the translated and validated Spanish version of the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), which will be answered by the parents. The consumption of added sugar will be evaluated with the version translated into Spanish of the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children - Food-Frequency Questionnaire (HBSC-FFQ). The time on screens will be recorded through the parents' report, of the time in hours that the child spends using electronic media in a recreational way each weekday for a week and each weekend day for a week. A decrease in the frequency of sleep bruxism is expected to be found by reducing sugar consumption and screen time in the children evaluated. The results of this study will be presented at the IADR, ACFO, ACOP and CES University research meetings and will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in category Q1.
Background: The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effect of Intravascular Irradiation of Blood (ILIB) combined with myofunctional exercises for sleep bruxism in pediatrics. Methods: This study will be a randomized controlled clinical trial. A triage of individuals between 4 and 17 years old with a diagnosis of sleep bruxism will be carried out at the clinic of the Catholic University of Uruguay, and in a private office referred by different private care centers. The selected participants will be evaluated before and after treatment by means of questionnaires on bruxism, sleep quality and nocturnal oxygen saturation measurement. For this, 46 patients with sleep bruxism will be recruited, who will be divided into 2 groups: control group (CG), which will undergo an application of placebo ILIB and an orofacial myofunctional therapy (MFT) exercise protocol; and na ILIB group, which will carry out an active application of ILIB and an exercise protocol, this being once a week for 8 weeks. The laser treatment (808 nm) will be performed twice a week for 8 weeks. The values will be tested for normality by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. For the comparison between the groups, T-test will be carried out, considering a level of significance of 0.5% (p<0.05). Discussion: Although local photobiomodulation (PBM), acupuncture PBM and physiotherapy have been studied in the treatment of bruxism, this is the first study to evaluate the effect of ILIB combined with myofunctional exercises for sleep bruxism in pediatrics.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of sleep hygiene measures for the possible improvement of sleep bruxism in children through a randomized controlled clinical study of children under 8 years of age with probable sleep bruxism. In randomization both groups will receive information about bruxism, and the test group will receive instructions of sleep hygiene, limited use of screens and a relaxation audio. The occurrence of sleep bruxism will be assessed through a diary to be completed by the child's responsible party. A randomized, stratified sample of approximately 16 children will be included in the study. One group will be composed of 8 children with probable sleep bruxism who will receive the sleep hygiene intervention, and another group of children who will only receive instructions on sleep bruxism, with causes and consequences. Participants will be followed-up for 30 days. Parents will respond to a questionnaire about socioeconomic, demographic (child's age and gender), as well as parafunctional habits such as nail biting, biting objects, pacifier sucking, finger / thumb sucking and bottle feeding, child's sleep characteristics, screen habits, parental smoking, problems breathing, parental profession and also on psychological issues. Sleep habits will also be answered in this questionnaire, and parents will also answer the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The children over 6 years old will respond a Child Stress Scale and the Child of stressing sources in child; children less than 6 years will have the questionnaire responded by parents. The children will undergo a clinical examination to assess dental wear, according to the BEWE (Basic Erosive Wear Examination Index). The study evaluations consist of baseline, 1, 7, 15 and 30 days.
