Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the effects of bruxism on mandibular movement capacity, cervical proprioception, posture and quality of life in adolescents diagnosed with nocturnal bruxism (clenching and grinding teeth while sleeping) between the ages of 13-18 and to compare them with healthy adolescents. Method: A total of 40 adolescents, 20 with nocturnal bruxism and 20 healthy, will be included in the study. Mandibular movement capacity will be evaluated with a caliper and ruler, cervical proprioception with a CROM device, posture with the New York Posture Scale, and quality of life with the PedsQL 13-18 age scale. Hypotheses: H1: Nocturnal bruxism reduces the movement capacity of the mandible in adolescents. H2: Nocturnal bruxism reduces cervical proprioception in adolescents. H3: Posture disorder increases in adolescents with nocturnal bruxism. H4: Nocturnal bruxism affects the level of daily life quality in adolescents.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the performance of botulinum toxin (BTX) injections for bruxism. Participants were divided into two groups according to the duration of the symptoms. The main question is whether BTX should be reserved for long-standing bruxism where the conventional methods failed or indicated as a first-line treatment. The investigator also compared the required doses and the frequency of treatment sessions between these two groups for a complete recovery.
This study compared the effectiveness of Kinesio tape and occlusal splint application in improving sleep quality and reducing myofascial pain in children with sleep bruxism.
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to compare laser acupuncture versus modified physical therapy in controlling bruxism in children. The main questions aim to answer are: - Laser will decrease tempro-mandibular joint pain from bruxism more than modified physical therapy? - Laser will decrease muscles activity from bruxism more than modified physical therapy? Children took 6 sessions of either laser acupuncture or modified physical therapy Researchers compared laser acupuncture versus modified physical therapy to see if any decrease in tempro-mandibular joint pain and muscles activity from bruxism
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).
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.
correlation between Bruxism and Cervical function
Botulinum toxin (BOTOX®) injections into the masseter muscle are an effective treatment for nocturnal bruxism, with several trials using various dosages of botulinum toxin for this purpose. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of injecting 10MU of botulinum toxin A (BTXA) into the masseter muscle to reduce nocturnal bruxism, the sample will randomly divided into 2 groups. In the injection group, Patients will inject with 10 MU of botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX® - Allergan Inc. - Dublin - Ireland) per side at two sites into the masseter muscle bilaterally. In this Placebo group, patients will prick twice at the inferior prominent part of the masseter muscle observed using the stinger pen used in the blood glucose meter. The evaluation will make by Electromyography (EMG) analysis, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) values.
Objectives: To compare the effects of cervical manipulation on the ranges of motion of mouth opening and painful pressure points in the masseter and temporal muscles after of cervical manipulation compared to the control group. Material and methods: Single-blind randomized clinical trial with two arms, one group intervention and a control group. Hypothesis: There is a significant difference in mouth opening and painful pressure points between the intervention group and the control group. Expected results: The intervention group would significantly increase their mouth opening maximal and decrease pressure pain in the masseter and temporalis muscles.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of splint treatment and manual therapy in patients diagnosed with myofascial temporomandibular dysfunction with bruxism.
