Background: Sleep bruxism (SB) occurring during No-REM (nREM) sleep and increase in microarousals per hour have been described in adults, but not in children.
Objective: To assess the correlation between sleep architecture and masseter muscle activity related to sleep bruxism (SB/MMA) in children.
Materials And Methods: Forty-three children aged 7-12 years (mean age: 9.
Objective/background: Consumption of added sugar and excessive screen-time is increasing worldwide and is associated with sleeping and behavior disorders, which are related with possible Sleep Bruxism (SB) in children. Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to examine the relationship between screen-time and sugar-consumption and possible SB in children.
Patients/methods: A cross-sectional study, including parents of 460 4- to 8-year-old children, was performed.
Background: Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for sleep bruxism (SB) assessment. High economical costs, complex technical equipment, and unfamiliar laboratory setting limit its use in children.
Aim: To determine the night-to-night variability of electromyography (EMG) episodes during a five-night recording with the GrindCare Measure (GCM), and the agreement in the assessment of masticatory muscle activity (MMA) between GCM and PSG in children.
Background: Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for sleep bruxism (SB) diagnosis. PSG/SB children's criteria are not available; thus, parental-report SB is widely used.
Aim: Assessing the diagnostic accuracy of parental report of sleep tooth grinding (STG) with a PSG/SB diagnosis in children, adopting adult criteria.
