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

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
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.

Effectiveness of a Novel Mono‐Block Splint Versus a Twin‐Block Splint for Anterior Disc Displacement With Reduction: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
The nMB splint demonstrated superior effectiveness in reducing joint noise and improving patient comfort compared to the TB splint, while both splints exhibited similar efficacy in relieving joint pain and enhancing MMO. The nMB design offers a promising, patient‐oriented approach for conservative treatment of ADDwR.

Clear Aligners and Bruxism: A Systematic Review

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
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 ...
