Occlusal stabilization splints are the most common treatment for controlling deleterious effects of sleep bruxism. This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness a low-cost, mixed occlusal splint (MOS) compared that rigid splint. A randomized clinical trial was performed on 43 adults both sexes with possible bruxism and satisfactory dental conditions. They were divided into (ROS) (n = 23) MOS 20) groups. Masticatory muscle temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain intensity (visual analog scale),...
Abstract The objective is to present a clinical case of dental autotransplantation managed with surgery, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and aesthetic rehabilitation. A 10-year-old boy sought treatment after avulsion the maxillary left central incisor, which was not reimplanted. Based on anamnesis, examination, complementary examinations, agenesis mandibular second premolars except right premolar observed. After multidisciplinary planning, space in incisor region opened receive...
To predict palatally impacted maxillary canines based on maxilla measurements through supervised machine learning techniques.
Objective: To evaluate the oral behaviors and psychosocial aspects of adults belonging to Federal Police class. Methods: An observational longitudinal study was conducted with 30 adult individuals from special group city Curitiba, Paraná. The median age participants 39.70 (± 7.35) years. Quality life, anxiety perceived stress were assessed using SF-36, GAD-7 PSS-14 questionnaires respectively. Awake bruxism evaluated Ecological Momentary Assessment method WhatsApp mobile application....
Angle Class III malocclusion results in aesthetic and functional concerns, thus it is essential that this treated as early possible, so dentocraniofacial development occurs properly. A 7-year-old male patient with Asperger's syndrome had a subdivision right malocclusion, anterior posterior crossbite. To gain the patient's trust collaboration, we used behavioral management technique tell-show-do, addition to analysis method. Orthodontic treatment started using Hyrax palatal expander, but was...
This study assessed awake bruxism (AB) in undergraduate students using WhatsApp and examined the association of this behavior with quality life anxiety. The sample was composed 36 healthy young adults both genders, an average age 20.74 years. AB behaviors (teeth contact, teeth clenching, grinding mandible bracing) relaxed jaw muscles were reported Ecological Momentary Assessment, through WhatsApp, 15 times a day, for 7 days, between 8:00 am 7:00 pm. Quality Life (QoL) anxiety SF-36 GAD-7...
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic may lead to increased risk of developing or worsening bruxism and facial pain. Objective: To evaluate the influence on adults with Sleep Bruxism (BS), both sexes, rigid occlusal splint users. Methods: Longitudinal observational study conducted in adults, Possible BS (n= 50), mean age 35.95 ± 10.35 years, before (T1) during (T2) pandemic, person remotely, respectively. Presence intensity pain (Visual Analog Scale) masseter temporal muscles temporomandibular...
Objective: To evaluate the initial forces generated by two types of palatal expansion appliances, through fiber optic sensors, in elastomeric models. Materials and Methods: An model simulating upper dental arch was fabricated. The sensors were placed adjacent to first premolars molars roots (apical, cervical, vestibular, palatal). Hyrax Haas expanders fitted onto arch. Activation screw performed 4 times. variations wavelengths each sensor during activations recorded. ANOVA Games-Howell used...
