Association Between Cardiovascular Autonomic Function and Temporomandibular Disorders

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Studies have shown that elevated stress levels associate with TMD‐related pain, which suggests that alterations in autonomic tone may contribute to this pain condition. Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the sex‐specific associations between autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and TMD pain‐related diagnoses in a ...

Three‐Dimensional Stereophotogrammetry Facial Morphologic Signatures of Temporomandibular Disorders

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To utilize stereophotogrammetry to investigate changes in three‐dimensional (3D) facial morphology in both TMD‐free individuals and TMD patients, both before and after treatment, and to classify subjects as either TMD‐free or TMD patients.

Contribution of Sympathetic Sensory Coupling to Craniofacial Nociception

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stress and anxiety are associated with increased pain intensity in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) patients. It is possible that this association is due to a direct interaction between the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. This narrative review examines evidence for a potential sympathetic sensory interaction in deep craniofacial ...

Changes in Disc Status and Condylar Regeneration After Intracapsular Condylar Fractures in Rabbits

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The treatment procedure for intracapsular condylar fractures (ICF) is still being debated. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is a key factor for treating ICF. The study aims to investigate the changes in TMJ disc status and condylar cartilage regeneration following ICF in a rabbit model, to assist in planning treatment ...

Hitting the Gym: Reinforcement Learning Control of Exercise-Strengthened Biohybrid Robots in Simulation [PDF]

arXiv
Animals can accomplish many incredible behavioral feats across a wide range of operational environments and scales that current robots struggle to match. One explanation for this performance gap is the extraordinary properties of the biological materials that comprise animals, such as muscle tissue.

Clinical significance of exercise‐induced hypoalgesia in individuals with temporomandibular disorders and neck pain: A clinical trial protocol

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evidence reports positive effects of neck motor control and aerobic exercises (AEs) to improve pain in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and neck pain. A single bout of exercise typically leads to an increase in pain thresholds up to 30 min post‐exercise, known as exercise‐induced hypoalgesia (EIH).

Fluoxetine, but not paroxetine, alters the jaw-closing muscle activity during non-rapid eye movement sleep in mice

Neuroscience Research
Sleep bruxism is an involuntary, exaggerated jaw-closing activity during sleep. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use is a risk factor for bruxism. However, the effect of various SSRIs on masseter (jaw-closing) muscle activity remains unclear.
