To date, there is no consensus about the definition and diagnostic grading of bruxism. A written discussion was held among an international group bruxism experts as to formulate a suggest system for its operationalisation. The expert defined repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding teeth and/or bracing thrusting mandible. Bruxism has two distinct circadian manifestations: it can occur during sleep (indicated bruxism) wakefulness awake bruxism). For...
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...
To examine possible associations between self-reported bruxism, stress, desirability of control, dental anxiety and gagging. Five questionnaires were distributed among a general adult population (402 respondents): the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Desirability Control (DC), Dental Anxiety (DAS), Gagging Assessment (GAS), Bruxism Questionnaire. A high positive correlation DAS GAS (R = 0·604, P < 0·001) was found. PSS negatively correlated with DC -0·292, 0·001), positively 0·217, 0·214,...
Summary The reported prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) present during childhood and adolescence ranges between 7% 68%. range the sleep bruxism in children is also wide. purpose current study was threefold: (i) determine oral parafunctions, anamnestic clinical findings TMD among Israeli with primary or mixed dentition; (ii) to establish whether parafunctional activities are associated this population (iii) examine possible impact stressful life events on bruxism, children. A...
Abstract Sleep bruxism (SB) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are co-occurring conditions. The study aimed to evaluate the association of selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) occurring within genes serotonin dopamine pathways in SB OSA investigate relationship between them. group included 100 Caucasian patients. were diagnosed 74 28 patients, respectively. In addition, 125 unrelated healthy blood donors served as randomly controls enable comparison polymorphisms. following SNPs...
A group of 248 randomly selected high school girls, aged 15-16 years, completed a questionnaire and were examined clinically with regard to various oral habits signs symptoms temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Common reported in the literature, such as gum chewing, nail biting, biting foreign objects, clenching bruxism, eating seeds crushing ice, well two less habits, 'jaw play' continuous arm leaning, evaluated. The most outstanding finding was prevalence intensity chewing among our study...
To examine the extent of depression, anxiety, somatization, and comorbidity between depression anxiety in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) by adding Symptom Checklist-90 Revised self-report questionnaire for to Research Diagnostic Criteria TMD.A total 207 Israeli TMD were included this retrospective study. Data levels study group as a whole, chronic pain compared acute patients, according their Graded Chronic Pain Scale score. Spearman correlation was used assess level...
In this study, relevant cases were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who diagnosed as suffering from myofascial pain only according the research diagnostic criteria/temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD) criteria, in order examine whether or not they could fulfil American Academy of Orofacial Pain (AAOP) criteria for TMD-related masticatory muscle disorders. One hundred and twenty-seven patients, RDC/TMD having with without limited jaw opening only, allocated two groups their...
Little is known about the epidemiological characteristics of sleep and awake bruxism (SB AB) in adolescents. The aims study were: to assess prevalence rates self-reported SB AB Israeli adolescents; determine associations between SB/AB several demographical, exogenous psychosocial factors investigate possible concordance AB. made use a questionnaire. population included 1000 students from different high schools centre Israel. Prevalence adolescents studied was 9·2% 19·2%, respectively. No...
Introduction: Sleep and awake bruxism are potential risk factors for oral hard tissue damage, failure of dental restorations and/or temporomandibular disorders. Identifying the determinants sleep among adolescents will enable development preventive interventions those at risk. Objectives: To determine emotional, behavioral physiological associations Israeli adolescents. Methods: Two thousand nine hundred ninety-three high school students, from five different schools in Israel, were...
Introduction The diagnosis of sleep bruxism is challenging due to the difficulties involved. Sleep can lead significant clinical consequences, including pain in masticatory muscles, limitation jaw mobility, headache, and spectrum symptoms associated with damage teeth oral mucosa. Currently, only video-polysomnography definitely diagnose bruxism. Due risk painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) bruxers, early region using questionnaires recommended. Therefore, this study aimed assess...

Participation voluntary. The examination consisted two parts: a clinical TMD using Diagnostic Criteria for Examination Form Head-HUNT Study questionnaire filled by participants to determine occurrence type headaches.
