Relationship between bruxism and mandibular bone modifications based on medical imaging: a scoping review.

Objectives: This scoping review aimed to assess the current state of knowledge regarding the relationship between bruxism and changes in density or volume of mandibular bone, based on medical imaging.

Methods: Literature review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR protocol. PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane library databases were searched for peer-reviewed articles by two blinded reviewers.

Suitability of Reusing Pre-Doctoral Student Activity Data from an Educational Information System for Quality Measures of Caries Risk.

Dental caries management requires individualized follow-up and prophylaxis based on patients' caries risk (PCR). In large pre-doctoral clinics, the use of institutional quality measures (QMs) is essential to control the quality of patient follow-up and to evaluate the need for improvement measures. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the suitability of reusing student activity data for the development of QMs of caries risk.

Evaluation of mandibular bone density in bruxers: the value of panoramic radiographs.

Objectives: This study aimed to establish a difference in mandibular bone density between bruxer and non-bruxer patients, based on panoramic radiographs.

Methods: Panoramic radiographs of bruxer and non-bruxer patients were analyzed with ImageJ. Several radiological determinants were studied on the patients' panoramic radiographs: gray values of cancellous bone and cortical bone, and bony exostoses at the mandibular angle.

Balkwill's angle, occlusal plane, mandibular shape, and curve of Spee.

Objective: This study proposes a cephalometric method to determine an individual radius of the curve of Spee in cases of occlusal prosthetic rehabilitation.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 469 lateral cephalograms. Statistical analysis was performed.

Management of idiopathic sleep bruxism in children and adolescents: A systematic review of the literature.

Aim: Primary sleep bruxism (SB) affects between 6 and 30% of children and adolescents. Its frequency increases with age, reaching a peak at 10-14 years of age, after which it drops until adulthood. The treatment of SB has not been extensively documented, resulting in a lack of reference points and legitimate concerns for dentists in their everyday practice.

Dental Occlusion: Proposal for a Classification to Guide Occlusal Analysis and Optimize Research Protocols.

Aim: Dental occlusion often rhymes with confusion, discrediting many research protocols. The profession seems to be in "major chaos about occlusion." This may be due to the lack of a precise classification of occlusal dysfunctions.

Oral Care in Kindler Syndrome: 7-Year Follow-up of 2 Brothers.

Background: Kindler poikiloderma is an inherited autosomal genodermatosis characterized by blistering of the epidermis and mucosae. Its prevalence is unknown.

Case Report: We monitored two brothers suffering from this pathology.

[What is a malocclusion?].

Since 1907, the international community has used Angle's classification to assess the mesio-distal relationships of the dental arches. It is the basis of the diagnosis of malocclusion in the sagittal dimension and indicates or not an orthodontic correction treatment. This work was aimed to inventory the classification methods of malocclusions used today.
