Abstract Background Since in children and adolescence prevalence is assessed mainly on self‐reported or proxy‐reported signs symptoms; there a need to develop more comprehensive standardised process for the collection of clinical information diagnosis TMD these populations. Objective To new instruments adapt diagnostic criteria temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) evaluation adolescents. Method A modified Delphi method was used seek international consensus among experts. Fourteen clinicians...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate tactile detection threshold (TDT), filament-prick pain (FPT), pressure (PPT), and tolerance (PTOL) at multiple measuring points in orofacial region normal subjects. Sixteen males 16 females (age range from 20 41 years) participated. TDT FPT were measured on cheek skin overlying central part masseter muscles (MM), maxillary gingiva, tip tongue, using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. PPT PTOL MM, a algometer. intensity during FPT, measurements...
This study was conducted to assess the psychological characteristics of, and determine effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral (CB) treatment for, patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS). The baseline 24 female (age 69.7 ± 5.9 years) an identical number healthy control subjects 69.2 5.5 were compared. patient had significantly higher anxiety scores (P < 0.05) at baseline. A brief CB intervention delivered in a small-group format. Two sessions planned 6 months apart. numeric rating...
The Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) use in adults is worldwide. Until now, no version of this instrument adolescents has been proposed.To present comprehensive and short-form adaptations the adult DC/TMD that are appropriate with clinical research settings.International experts TMDs pain psychology participated a Delphi process to identify ways adapting protocol physical psychosocial assessment adolescents.The proposed adaptation defines adolescence as ages 10-19...
In this study, we applied cognitive behavioural intervention to subjects who had painful limited mouth opening, with or without posture correction in daily life. The efficacy of non‐intervention control was then compared it order study the effectiveness as part a biobehavioural therapy. visual analogue scale (VAS) value pain intensity at maximum opening and disturbance life sharply declined group which received only those together although there little difference between groups. Moreover,...
This study tested the effect of short‐term tooth‐clenching on corticomotor excitability masseter muscle using transcranial magnetic stimulation ( TMS ). Fifteen subjects with normal stomatognathic function participated. All performed a task TCT ) five consecutive days. The consisted 10, 20, and 40% maximum voluntary contraction in randomized order within 1 h. underwent four sessions: pretask day (baseline), post‐task 1, 5, 5. Motor‐evoked potentials MEP s) from first dorsal interosseous FDI...
Unlike the psychosocial assessment established for adults in Diagnostic Criteria Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD), a standardised children and adolescents with TMD complaints has not yet been established.To develop new instrument set to assess functioning by adapting status pain-related disability (Axis II) of adult DC/TMD including instruments.A modified Delphi method was used survey 23 international experts four psychological factors consensus regarding tools adolescents. The reviewed...
Purpose: This study aimed to compare awake bruxism events between subjective and objective evaluations using a questionnaire survey modified portable electromyography (EMG) device, examine correlations sleep quality bruxism.

Comparison of cerebral activity during teeth clenching and fist clenching: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study. Eur J Oral Sci 2010; 118: 635–641. © 2010 Using (fMRI), we compared the bilateral light fist‐clenching light‐teeth to provide more information on central processing mechanisms underlying awake bruxism. Fourteen subjects participated in our Statistical comparisons were used identify brain...
There is general agreement that excessive stress to the bone-implant interface may result in implant overload and failure. Early failure of due loading occurs shortly after uncovering implant. Excess load on a final restoration successful integration can physical structure. Many clinicians believe dental implants risk factor for vertical peri-implant bone loss and/or be detrimental suprastructure prostheses. It has been documented occlusal parafunction, such as, bruxism (tooth grinding...
There have been many reports on fatal distortion of heat-activated acrylic denture-base resin which is still widely used in the field removable prosthodontics. However, these failed to report quantitatively polymerization and thermal shrinkage factors. In present study, we attempted verify that was caused mainly by contraction after processing. Furthermore, examined degree resulting from long, low-temperature processing, compared results with conventional method. The strain gauge...
This study compared pain intensity and psychosocial characteristics between patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) those trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Data from 282 BMS 83 TN were analyzed. Patients reported duration of illness: ≤ 6 months was defined as acute illness > chronic illness. Present worst during the past using a 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS). In addition, depression somatization scores evaluated on questionnaires. significantly higher had worse than did BMS. Pain in patients,...
To determine if standardized palpation of the masseter muscle can evoke referred pain and/or sensations in healthy individuals and to compare mechanical sensitivities response three different levels force.
