Treatment of chronic pain associated with bruxism through Myofunctional therapy
2017
<p> </p><p><span> </span>Temporomandibular disorders such as bruxism may cause painful clinical conditions and over time lead to chronic facial pain. A combination of therapeutic strategies that are usually undertaken by dentists and gnathologists to reduce bruxism episodes and consequently pain, are myofunctional therapy, pharmacological treatment, intraoral interventions and behavioural treatments. The aim of this work was to understand if myofuntional therapy alone can be a useful therapy for the reduction of chronic facial pain. 24 patients, 9 male and 15 female, age ranging between 25 and 45, were treated with a myofunctional therapy for 9 month. Each pati…
Predictors of long-term outcomes in patients undergoing periodontal maintenance
2017
Abstract Aim This retrospective study aimed to characterize the baseline status of patients following periodontal maintenance, analysing the association between the long‐term outcome of these patients, smoking, bruxism, and the main clinical and radiographic variables. Material and methods A sample of 174 patients with moderate to severe periodontitis was refined into homogeneous subsamples according to smoking and bruxism and the rate of tooth loss due to periodontal disease (TLPD): 0, 1–2, and >2 teeth. The association and the distribution (χ² test) of the variables within the subsamples were analysed. Results Smoking and bruxism were significantly associated with higher TLPD rates. Verti…
Efficacy of a mandibular advancement intraoral appliance (MOA) for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in pediatric patients : a…
2018
Background To evaluate the treatment efficacy of a mandibular advancement intraoral appliance (MOA) for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in pediatric patients. Material and Methods Eighteen patients (mean=8.39 years old, women=44.4%) were selected. Sleep disorders, sleep bruxism, and temporomandibular disorders were assessed by the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC), the BiteStrip® (portable SB device), and the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, respectively. The clinical diagnosis of OSAS was confirmed with a type 3 portable monitor device (ApneaLinkTM Plus). A silicon-based material MOA was used by patients for 60 days, and the resul…
Sleep bruxism. Conceptual review and update
2010
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. Over the years science has tried to provide a consistent explanation of the etiopathogenesis and physiopathology of SB, although the pathophysiological mechanisms are even now not yet fully understood. There is at present no specific, effective treatment to eliminate the habit of bruxism permanently. There are only palliative therapeutic alternatives steered at preventing the pathological effects of SB on the stomatognathic system and alleviating the nega…
Self-reported bruxism mirrors anxiety and stress in adults
2012
Objectives: The aims were to analyze whether the levels of self-reported bruxism and anxiety associate among otherwise healthy subjects, and to investigate the independent effects of anxiety and stress experience on the probability of self-reported bruxism. Study Design: As part of a study on irregular shift work, a questionnaire was mailed to all employees of the Finnish Broadcasting Company with irregular shift work (number of subjects: n=750) and to an equal number of randomly selected employees in the same company with regular eight-hour daytime work. Results: The response rates were 82.3% (56.6 % men) and 34.3 % (46.7 % men), respectively. Among the 874 respondents, those aware of more…
Bruxismo Infantil: Estudio de factores intrínsecos y ambientales en su etiología
2020
El bruxismo se define como un comportamiento, que incluye movimientos involuntarios, de los músculos de la masticación además de un contacto dental no funcional, apretando y/o rechinando los dientes. Puede ocurrir durante el día y /o la noche, en este último caso, suele suceder en micro despertares en la primera y segunda fase del sueño no REM. El bruxismo afecta por igual a ambos sexos y tiende a disminuir con la edad. La prevalencia obtenida en los diferentes estudios publicados oscila entre el 3,5% al 88%, aunque la mayoría se sitúan en un intervalo de prevalencia comprendido entre el 3,5 y el 40,6% . Los síntomas más frecuentes relativos al bruxismo son: dolor en la articulación temporo…

Bilateral cyclic cheek lesions related to premenstrual syndrome: a multifactorial pathogenesis?
2009
Introduction Cheek biting is a chronic, usually innocuous, self-inXicted injury that often occurs as a parafunctional habit. Case report We report an unusual case of bilateral cyclic cheek lesions in a 34-year-old woman characterized by hyperkeratinization near the biting edges of the teeth and hematic lesions accompanied by a cheek swelling sensation, without pain and burning. The lesions coincided with a premenstrual syndrome, characterized by Xuid retention Introduction Cheek biting is a chronic, usually innocuous, self-inXicted injury that often occurs as a parafunctional habit.

Estado bucodental de la población de pacientes con síndrome de Rett de la Comunidad Valenciana y Región de Murcia
2013
INTRODUCCIÓN El síndrome de Rett (SR) es un trastorno del neurodesarrollo ligado al cromosoma X que ocurre casi exclusivamente en mujeres, caracterizado por la regresión en el desarrollo psicomotor con manifestaciones autistas, desaceleración del crecimiento cefálico, convulsiones y movimientos repetitivos estereotipados de las manos. Se engloba dentro del grupo de las enfermedades raras estimándose su prevalencia en 4,15 por cada 100.000 habitantes. En la mayoría de los casos su causa deriva de una mutación en el gen MECP2, localizado en el cromosoma X, casi siempre letal en varones. El diagnóstico se basa en el cumplimiento de unos criterios de diagnóstico clínico, ya que las mutaciones e…
