Electromyography Frequency Spectrum Is a Better Indicator of Sleep Bruxism Severity Related to Temporomandibular Disorder Pain Than Conventional Masticatory Muscle Activation and Bruxism Time Indices—A Pilot Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep bruxism (SB) has been reportedly associated with temporomandibular disorder (TMD); however, solid evidence is lacking. Previous studies have primarily used traditional metrics, such as the masticatory muscle activity (MMA) index and bruxism time index (BTI) to investigate the link between SB and TMD.

Changes of masseter muscle after mandible distraction osteogenesis in patients with Hemifacial microsomia: a retrospective study

Frontiers in Pediatrics
IntroductionMandible distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is widely used to reconstruct the mandible in patients with mild Hemifacial microsomia (HFM). However, the masseter's response to mandible distraction remains unclear.MethodsIn this study, we analyze ...

New Insights Into Diffuse Sclerosing Osteomyelitis: Is There a Role of ANA and Vitamin B6?

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Object Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis is a poorly understood chronic disease, which appears predominantly in the mandible. Female patients are more often affected than men. DSO is an ultra‐rare disease and incidence is unknown; diagnosis can be very challenging; pathogenesis is poorly understood.

Electromyographic Assessment of Sleep Bruxism in Patients With Periodontitis: A Case–Control Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The relationship between periodontitis and bruxism has always been a matter of debate. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the association between advanced stages of periodontitis (Stage III/IV) and the intensity and duration of sleep bruxism events, measured as bruxism work index (BWI) and bruxism time index (BTI) through

Oral Manifestations of Non Vascular Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome Cross‐Sectional Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ehlers–Danlos syndromes are rare hereditary connective tissue disorders; however, their oral manifestations remain poorly characterized in molecularly confirmed individuals. The aim of this study was to describe the oral phenotype of patients with non‐vascular Ehlers‐Danlos syndromes compared to healthy controls.
