Using articulating foils of varying thickness, occlusal tactile acuity was compared between patients with chronic painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDp) and healthy controls. TMDp patients showed enhanced detection of thinner foils and greater perceptual sensitivity, accompanied by a more liberal decision strategy, whereas higher frequencies of ...

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

This multicentre retrospective study evaluated reintroducing selected DC/TMD examination items into the bDC/TMD to improve diagnosis of headache attributed to TMD. Reintroducing temple headache confirmation (E1b) markedly increased diagnostic sensitivity while maintaining high inter‐examiner reliability, supporting refinement and validation of the ...

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

Clear Aligners and Bruxism: A Systematic Review
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 ...

Validation of clinically related aging models based on enamel wear
Abstract Purpose Physiological and erosive wear reported in clinical studies were reviewed, and in vitro aging models were developed to simulate and compare the effect of aging on human teeth with the review data obtained from clinical studies. Methods A review of clinical studies and randomized clinical trials that quantify enamel wear was performed ...
