Summary In 2013, consensus was obtained on a definition of bruxism as repetitive masticatory muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding the teeth and/or bracing thrusting mandible and specified either sleep awake bruxism. addition, grading system proposed to determine likelihood that certain assessment actually yields valid outcome. This study discusses need for an updated has following aims: (i) further clarify 2013 develop separate definitions bruxism; (ii) whether is disorder...
This commentary discusses the need to move on from adoption of cut-off points for definition presence/absence bruxism and justifies embrace an evaluation based continuum jaw motor behaviours. Currently, number events per hour, as identified by polysomnography (PSG), is used define presence sleep (SB). Whilst PSG still remains indispensable equipment study neurophysiological correlates SB, scoring criteria a point are questionable clinical usefulness oral health outcomes. For awake (AB),...
Abstracts The aim of the present paper was to give an overview general project and macrostructure a comprehensive multidimensional toolkit for assessment bruxism, viz. bruxism evaluation system. This is necessary intermediate step that will be detailed in successive extended publication ultimately lead definition Standardized Tool Assessment Bruxism (STAB) as final product. Two invitation‐only workshops were held during 2018 2019 General Session & Exhibition International Association...
Summary Background Awake bruxism and sleep are common conditions amongst adult populations, although prevalence data scarce. Objective This study aimed to assess the of awake in Dutch population. Methods As part a large epidemiologic survey on oral health general population, total 1209 subjects were asked about their behaviour during day sleep. The collected subjected stratified analysis by five age groups (25‐34, 35‐44, 45‐54, 55‐64 65‐74 years), socioeconomic status, gender. Results A 5.0%...
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of tooth wear in different age groups Dutch adult population and determine this distribution by gender, socioeconomic class, type teeth. Results were compared with outcomes a previous comparable population. As part comprehensive investigation oral health general 2013, was assessed among 1,125 subjects city ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The data collected subjected stratified analysis 5 (25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74 years), Tooth using 5-point ordinal...
To assess awake and sleep bruxism, the Standardised Tool for Assessment of Bruxism (STAB) is currently being developed. The STAB will be a comprehensive tool detailed assessment bruxism behaviour itself as well its possible consequences, causes, comorbid conditions.Since cannot fully meet 'A4 principle' tool, i.e., Accurate (reliable valid), Applicable (feasible), Affordable (cost-effective), Accessible (suitable everyday clinical use), Screener (BruxScreen) has been developed to used in...
Tooth wear is a multifactorial condition, leading to the loss of dental hard tissues. Physiological tooth slow process that normally does not lead any subjective symptoms. When condition progresses, it can become pathological, and several signs symptoms may occur. The Wear Evaluation System (TWES) was described implement systematic diagnostic management approach. Recently, guidelines were presented in European Consensus Statement (ECS) as well. To evaluate TWES practice integrate principles...
The purpose of this study was to identify the level oral health-related quality life and orofacial appearance in patients with moderate severe tooth wear. Patients without a request for restorative treatment were included. One hundred twenty-four (98 men, 26 women, mean age: 40.5 ± 8.8 years) wear help received non-restorative counseling monitoring. treated full rehabilitation using composite resin restorations. Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-NL) Orofacial Esthetic Scale (OES-NL)...
Even though bruxism and Parkinson's disease (PD) share common characteristics, their relation is still not clear. Both PD are movement disorders in addition, patients with as well those complain about musculoskeletal pain, including temporomandibular (TMD) pain.Therefore, the aim of this pilot study was to gain more insight into possible between TMD on one hand other.In total, 801 persons gave written informed consent agreed participate filling a questionnaire. Complete data were collected...
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to assess the prevalence of awake bruxism and sleep in Dutch adolescent population. Materials Methods As part a large epidemiologic survey on oral health general population 2017, total 920 subjects were asked about their behaviour during daytime sleep. The collected data subjected stratified analysis by two age groups (for 17 23 years, respectively), gender socio‐economic status. Results A 4.1% 4.2% was found for 7.6% 13.2% bruxism. Women reported more...
Clinically, sleep bruxism is considered to be associated with the presence of tooth wear, but strong evidence still lacking.
Objectives: Tooth wear is a common finding in adult patients with dental sleep disorders.The aim of this paper was to review the literature on possible associations between tooth and following disorders: sleep-related orofacial pain , oral moistening disorders, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), obstructive apnea syndrome (OSAS), bruxism.Methods: A PubMed search performed June 1, 2018, using MeSH terms query: Wear AND (Facial Pain OR Temporomandibular Joint Disorders Xerostomia...
Scale-sensitive fractal analysis of high-resolution 3-dimensional surface reconstructions wear patterns has advanced our knowledge in evolutionary biology, and opened up opportunities for translatory applications clinical practice. To elucidate the microwear characteristics attrition erosion worn natural teeth, we scanned 50 extracted human teeth using a confocal profiler at high optical resolution (X–Y, 0.17 µm; Z < 3 nm). Our hypothesis was that complexity would be greater anisotropy...
Tooth wear is considered an increasing oral health problem. Due to its multifactorial nature, recognizing and diagnosing of tooth difficult but nevertheless important. Over the years, a wide variety evaluation systems has been developed, yet none them universally accepted. This implications for both research clinical practice.This paper describes in-depth analysis four commonly used systems, namely, Eccles index, Wear Index, Lussi Basic Erosive Examination. Comparing those revealed that...
The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties Dutch version Orofacial Esthetic Scale (OES) in dental patients with and without self-reported tooth wear. English OES translated into Dutch, following established guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation health-related quality life measures. reliability resulting OES-NL tested a test-retest on 343 subjects; its validity use convergent 582 subjects. showed intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) that ranged from 0·76 0·82,...
Tooth wear is a multifactorial condition, leading to the loss of dental hard tissues. Many grading scales are available assess amount tooth wear, one which evaluation system (TWES). A scale can be used chairside, on casts and photographs. The aim was test whether TWES, photographs, resulted in comparable scores. In addition, it tested these reliably Of 75 patients, sets series photographs were obtained graded. Comparison revealed equal median values percentiles for both occlusal/incisal...
Many methods are available for the grading of tooth wear, but their ability to assess progression wear over time has not been studied frequently. The aim was whether occlusal/incisal scale Tooth Wear Evaluation System (TWES) sensitive enough detection from 14 23 years age. A total 120 sets dental casts were gathered 40 people, whom impressions made at 14, 18 and years. TWES used loss clinical crown height throughout entire dentition. There a significant difference in scores between three age...
