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 ...

Occlusal Splint Therapy in the Management of Temporomandibular Disorders—Evidence from Systematic Reviews

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This umbrella review of 21 systematic reviews evaluates occlusal splint therapy for TMD. Findings indicate mostly small beneficial or neutral effects on pain and mouth opening. Consequently, clinicians should prioritise cost‐effectiveness and patient preferences when considering splints, given the high variability in methodological quality across ...

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.
