Filter by:Our study aimed to investigate the effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (TAVNS) application on treatment efficacy in bruxism in terms of masseter muscle activity, pain, stress level, sleep and life quality, and autonomic functions.
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).
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.
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.
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.
