Comparison of the efficacy of occlusal splint and botulinum toxin therapies in patients with temporomandibular disorders with sleep bruxism.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of occlusal splint and botulinum toxin (BTX) therapies for improving the pain scores and mouth opening in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) with sleep bruxism (SB).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on clinical record reviews of patients with TMD symptoms (e.g.

Assessing change in functional outcomes and quality of life in myogenic temporomandibular disorders undergoing botulinum toxin injection: A before and after comparison.

Purpose: This prospective study aimed to evaluate the changes in functional outcomes and quality of life after the injection of botulinum toxin (BTX) into the masticatory muscles for the management of myogenic temporomandibular disorders (TMDs).

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted with 45 individuals who presented with clinically myogenic TMDs according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. All patients received BTX injections in the temporalis and masseter muscles.

Peripheral Dentinogenic Ghost Cell Tumor of the Maxilla.

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is an uncommon locally invasive odontogenic tumor, representing 1.9% to 2.1% of all odontogenic tumors.

Evaluation of the Prognosis of the Teeth in the Mandibular Fracture Line.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of the teeth in the mandibular fracture line and to analyze the relationship between the degree of displacement of fracture fragments, the relationship of the fracture line to the periodontium, and the relationship between the condition of the teeth at the first postoperative (post-op) year.

Methods: A total of 60 teeth from 38 patients (11 female and 27 male) who had erupted teeth in the line of mandibular fracture and were treated with open reduction were examined. The data were collected from the patients' clinical records and radiographs.

Correlation between preoperative pressure pain assessments and anxiety and postoperative pain in impacted lower third molar surgery.

Objectives: : The aim of this study was to evaluate correlations between anxiety and preoperative pressure pain assessments and postoperative pain and analgesic requirements in impacted lower third molar tooth surgery.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study enrolled 60 patients who underwent impacted lower third molar surgery. The preoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-I (STAI-I), pressure pain threshold, and pressure pain tolerance scores were measured.

Efficacy of botulinum toxin in the management of temporomandibular myofascial pain and sleep bruxism.

Objectives: : This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter and temporal muscles in patients with temporomandibular myofascial pain and sleep bruxism.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted based on a clinical record review of 44 patients (36 females and eight males; mean age, 35.70±12.

Effects of Intra-Articular Resveratrol Injections on Cartilage Destruction and Synovial Inflammation in Experimental Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intra-articular resveratrol injections on cartilage destruction and synovial inflammation in an experimental temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) model.

Materials And Methods: Freund's complete adjuvant injection method was used to construct the TMJ-OA model. Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly placed into 4 groups: control (n = 4), TMJ arthritis (n = 8), low-dose intra-articular resveratrol (RES[L]; n = 8), and high-dose intra-articular resveratrol (RES[H]; n = 8).

Is arthrocentesis plus hyaluronic acid superior to arthrocentesis alone in the treatment of disc displacement without reduction in patients with bruxism?

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of arthrocentesis with and without intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the treatment of disc displacement without reduction (DDwoR) in patients with bruxism.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the files of patients with DDwoR, limited mouth opening, and bruxism. Patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment method: arthrocentesis alone (group 1) and arthrocentesis plus intra-articular HA injection (group 2).

Evaluation of biopsies of oral and maxillofacial lesions: a retrospective study.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of odontogenic cysts, tumors, and other lesions among reports in the archives of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Faculty of Dentistry affiliated with Kocaeli University collected over a four-year period.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, patient records from the archive of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from 2014 to 2018 were reviewed. Patient demographic information (age and sex) and lesion location were recorded and analyzed.

The relationship between temporomandibular joint effusion and pain in patients with internal derangement.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between temporomandibular joint (TMJ) effusion and joint pain in patients with internal derangement based on the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD).

Methods: A total of 240 TMJs from 120 patients with unilateral painful joints (103 females and 17 males, mean age 29.9 ± 12 years) were evaluated.
