Sleep bruxism. Conceptual review and update [PDF]

, 2011
Sleep bruxism (SB) is a parafunctional oromotor habit that can sometimes pose a threat to the integrity of the structures of the masticatory system if the magnitude and direction of the forces exerted exceed the system?s adaptive capacity.

Change in tooth mobility following non‐surgical periodontal therapy: A retrospective cohort study of clinical outcomes

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To evaluate the change in clinical tooth mobility following scaling and root planing (SRP) and to identify baseline factors predictive of the 12‐month outcome. Methods This retrospective cohort study utilized de‐identified electronic health records from the BigMouth Dental Data Repository. The final cohort consisted of 152 patients,

Usefulness of occlusal splints [PDF]

Journal of Dentofacial Anomalies and Orthodontics, 2012
Dentists often use occlusal splints in the management of occlusodontic problems. Because they are considered to provide non-invasive and reversible treatment they are therapeutic devices that conform well to the current philosophy governing protocols for therapy of the masticatory system.

Unsupervised phenotyping of the periodontal architecture through high‐dimensional clustering of electronic health records: A multicenter study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To identify novel periodontal phenotypes using unsupervised machine learning on a large‐scale, multicenter cohort, specifically characterizing disease patterns based on the “periodontal architecture” of localized structural failures (tooth mobility and molar furcation defects) rather than global severity averages alone. Methods This

Adjunctive Botulinum Toxin Type A for Bruxism and Sweat‐Worsened Facial Blistering in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Case Series

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Capsule Summary Bruxism and sweat‐induced facial blisters can affect patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) quality of life (QoL). We present the outcomes of orofacial BTX‐A infiltrations to treat these conditions. Three patients with severe RDEB, bruxism and microstomia received BTX‐A infiltrations (50U‐100U) in masseters and ...

Risk Factors Associated With Peri‐Implant Marginal Bone Loss Among Japanese Patients Receiving Supportive Periodontal Therapy: A 10‐Year Retrospective Study

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to investigate patient‐related and prosthetic factors associated with peri‐implant marginal bone loss (MBL) in patients receiving supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). Materials and Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent implant treatment and continued SPT for at least 10 years.

Accuracy (Trueness and Precision) of the Calibrated Intraoral Scan Protocol: An In Vitro Comparison of Three Scan Calibrator Designs In an Edentulous Implant Model

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To introduce a universal scan calibrator (SC) and to evaluate its accuracy in the calibrated intraoral scan protocol (CISP) by comparison with two previously published SCs. Materials and Methods Three SCs were evaluated on an edentulous implant model containing six scan bodies (SBs) positioned at the screw‐retained abutment (SRA ...
