Fibro‐Adipogenic Progenitors Regulate Orofacial Neuromuscular Junction Regeneration via Myostatin

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Orofacial and limb muscles differ in embryonic origin and regenerative capacity. Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) regeneration is critical for muscle restoration both histologically and functionally.

The Impact of Nutritional Status on Oral Health Outcomes and Management in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the relationship between nutritional status and the oral health of older adults (aged 75 years or older). The PECO focus question was, ‘What is the occurrence, association and impact of nutritional state on the oral health outcomes and its management in older adults?’ Methods A ...

The Effects of Stroke on Oral Function and Oral Health: A Qualitative Study

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in Aotearoa New Zealand, often resulting in a range of physical and cognitive impairments. The impacts of stroke on oral function and oral health are not well understood from the survivors' perspective, yet the latter are crucial for overall wellbeing. This qualitative study explored

Establishment of an MRI‐Based Diagnostic Approach to Identify Critical Pulpal Inflammation Zones in a Rat Caries‐Derived Pulpitis Model

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To establish a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based diagnostic approach for identifying ‘critical pulpal inflammation’ zones in a rat model of caries‐derived pulpitis. Methodology Caries‐derived pulpitis was induced in the molars of Sprague–Dawley rats using the caries‐derived pulpitis model.

Examining the Influence of Glycemic Management During Sleep on Sleep‐Related Bruxism: A Pilot Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Stabilisation of blood glucose levels during sleep may improve sleep‐related bruxism (SRB), particularly by suppressing sympathetic nervous system activity. Furthermore, it is expected that these findings will lead to the establishment of new treatment methods for SRB in sleep dentistry.

Correlation Between the New Bite Force Meter and GC Dental Prescale II

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This study evaluated a new one‐sided bite force meter (OBM‐01). In healthy and older adults, the device showed good reliability and moderate correlation with Dental Prescale II measurements. Habitual chewing side bite force was significantly higher, suggesting OBM‐01 may be useful for assessing oral function in clinical settings.

Comorbid Insomnia and Sleep‐Disordered Breathing in Painful Temporomandibular Disorders: Association With Pain Intensity

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In 50 adults with chronic TMD pain, insomnia alone and COMISA showed similar pain intensity and subjective sleep complaints. However, COMISA was characterised by greater pain frequency, predominant morning pain and marked nocturnal hypoxemia. Sleep quality and oxygen saturation were associated with pain intensity only in COMISA, indicating that sleep ...

Clear Aligners and Bruxism: A Systematic Review

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This study aimed to systematically evaluate the relationship between clear aligner therapy and bruxism, including both sleep and awake bruxism, to determine whether aligners act as a neutral factor, protective agent, or risk factor. The findings indicate that no definitive conclusion can be drawn, as the current evidence is limited and contradictory ...

Transcription factor MITF regulates masseter muscle growth and development

Physiological Reports
The microphthalmic mouse with a mutation at the locus of the microphthalmia‐associated transcriptional factor (MITF) gene exhibits masticatory dysfunction due to impaired masseter muscle development and needs to be fed with powdered diet.
