Objective: To investigate the relationship between biological, psychological, and social factors underlying Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS).
Subjects And Methods: A case (n = 40) and control (n = 42) study containing 80 variables was examined using two network models based on regularized partial correlations (n = 82).
Results: The structure of the associative pathways with the BMS was revealed.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between Sleep Bruxism (SB) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), focusing specifically on the severity of OSA and sleep data from the subjects.
- Conducted as a case-control study with 37 participants, researchers used polysomnographic recordings and various diagnostic criteria to evaluate both SB and OSA, examining multiple sleep-related variables.
- Results suggested a protective association between SB and OSA, with OSA patients showing fewer SB episodes compared to non-OSA patients; however, further research with a larger sample size is needed to confirm these findings.
Diagnostic Accuracy of a Portable Electromyography and Electrocardiography Device to Measure Sleep Bruxism in a Sleep Apnea Population: A Comparative Study.

Background: The gold standard for diagnosing sleep bruxism (SB) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is polysomnography (PSG). However, a final hypermotor muscle activity often occurs after apnea episodes, which can confuse the diagnosis of SB when using portable electromyography (EMG) devices. This study aimed to compare the number of SB episodes obtained from PSG with manual analysis by a sleep expert, and from a manual and automatic analysis of an EMG and electrocardiography (EKG) device, in a population with suspected OSA.

Patients were analysed at different follow-up times using an analytical observational design. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) score was evaluated according to age, sex, disc position, presence of degenerative joint disease (DJD), joint pain, maximum mouth opening and follow-up time.

Objectives: Some experts have suggested that burning mouth syndrome (BMS) should be included in the family of central sensitivity syndromes, a group of similar medical disorders linked by the central sensitization (CS) mechanism. Our objective is to assess the presence of CS in patients with BMS by performing a clinical examination and administering questionnaires to measure the generalized extent of pain, the presence of associated symptoms, and the number of other concurrent chronic pain conditions.
Study Design: We conducted a case-control study in 82 subjects (40 patients with BMS and 42 controls).
