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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesOral 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

open access: yesOral 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.

Use of liquid platelet‐rich fibrin (liquid PRF) in temporomandibular joint disorders: A narrative review with clinical recommendations

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim This narrative review aimed to gather evidence from comparative and non‐comparative clinical studies to assess: (1) whether the administration of liquid platelet‐rich fibrin (liquid PRF) provides any clinical benefits for managing temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and if so, based on comparative clinical studies, (2) whether it offers ...
