Standardized Tool for the Assessment of Bruxism (STAB).
This paper aims to present and describe the Standardized Tool for the Assessment of Bruxism (STAB), an instrument that was developed to provide a multidimensional evaluation of bruxism status, comorbid conditions, etiology, and consequences.

Online bruxism-related information: can people understand what they read? A Cross- Sectional Study.
OBJECTIVE Bruxism patients often access the web to search for information. Unfortunately, the low text readability of online material and the limited medical literacy in the general population may prevent patients' understanding of health information. We

The Bruxism Screener (BruxScreen): Development, pilot testing, and face validity.
BACKGROUND To assess awake and sleep bruxism, the Standardized Tool for the Assessment of Bruxism (STAB) is currently being developed. The STAB will be a comprehensive tool for the detailed assessment of bruxism behavior itself as well as of its possible

The neurophysiological basis of bruxism [PDF]
Mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus (MTN) neurons innervate the stretch receptors of the jaw elevator muscles and periodontal ligament mechanoreceptors, Bruxism activates the MTN. We analyzed how MTN cells are structured, their anatomy and physiology, and the effects of their activation.

Bruxism and Botulinum Injection: Challenges and Insights
Botulinum toxin (BTA) is a bacterial-derived extract that can inhibit muscle contraction, acting directly on the absorption of acetylcholine. Thanks to this property, botulinum has been used in aesthetic and general medicine for several years.
