Objective: This study aimed to evaluate, qualify, and summarize evidence presented in systematic reviews (SR) on treatments for bruxism.
Methods: The overview was conducted using the PICO strategy: children, adolescents, and adults with bruxism (P) were submitted to different treatments (I) compared to other treatments, placebo, or no treatment (C) in order to evaluate incidence, prevalence, and number of episodes of bruxism (O). The search was carried out in six databases and gray literature up to July 2023.
This study aimed to characterize the profile of dental anxiety in pediatric patients, identifying the effect exerted by socioeconomic factors using dental data.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how dental trauma to primary teeth affects the development of permanent teeth, focusing on common types of trauma and their impact on successors.
- It analyzed records of 815 primary teeth injuries from children aged 0-9, finding that avulsion and intrusive luxation were the most frequent causes of dilaceration in successor teeth.
- The results highlighted a range of complications, with enamel discoloration and hypoplasia being the most prevalent, and emphasized the importance of considering the child's age during trauma for effective diagnosis and treatment.
