The future of awake bruxism assessment will incorporate physiological data, possibly electromyography (EMG) of the temporal muscles. But up to now, temporal muscle contraction patterns in awake bruxism have not been characterized to demonstrate clinical utility. The present study aimed to perform surface EMG evaluations of people assessed for awake bruxism to identify possible different subtypes.

- - The study assessed the knowledge and attitudes of dentists in Brazilian Primary Health Care Units regarding oral cancer using a survey of 71 participants.
- - Results showed that while 66.2% of dentists felt knowledgeable about oral cancer, only 26.8% believed they could perform diagnostic procedures; additionally, many expressed interest in further training.
- - The findings highlight a gap in training related to oral cancer detection and suggest that improvements in public policy and dental education are necessary for better early diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of human identification methods from Tatlisumak et al. (2007) using cone-beam computed tomography and extraoral radiographs of the frontal sinus in dry skulls.
- A total of 58 skulls were analyzed, with 26 selected for imaging via different radiographic techniques, ensuring reproducibility with evaluations by two calibrated examiners across different sessions.
- Results showed good agreement for categorical variables and moderate to excellent concordance for continuous variables, indicating that the parameters for analyzing the frontal sinus are largely reliable and reproducible with the imaging methods used.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between chronological age and the degree of third molar mineralization by Demirjian's developmental stages (Demirjian et al., 1973) using panoramic radiography. From a total of 11.
