Objective: To perform a systematic review of in vitro studies examining endodontically treated anterior teeth restored with fiberglass posts versus composite posts reinforced with: polyethylene fibers (Ribbond), fiber-reinforced resin (everStick) and composite resin (everX).
Methods: The search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and LILACS. The studies were selected by two independent reviewers.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and severity of sleep bruxism (SB) in edentulous patients, who are those without natural teeth, using a definitive measurement method.* -
- Conducted with 23 edentulous patients using new complete dentures, the research assessed SB through a portable device while patients slept at home.* -
- Results showed that 78.26% of participants had SB, with 55.5% experiencing light bruxism and 39% showing moderate to severe cases.*
The objective of this systematic review was to investigate the incidence of debonding of fiber posts in root canal-treated teeth with a focus on the cementation strategy employed. This study was registered at PROSPERO (sob number: CRD42022334791). Six databases were searched, in addition to the gray literature.

- - The study explores bruxism's complex origins, noting that both genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to its development, but the role of genetic markers is still not well understood.
- - Researchers analyzed 21 reports, including 16 original studies, focusing on genetic associations with sleep bruxism (SB) and awake bruxism (AB), identifying 15 significant genetic polymorphisms across 11 genes.
- - Findings suggest specific genes associated with SB (like serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways) and AB (like ACTN3 and ANKK1), indicating potential genetic influences but highlighting the need for further research.
Article Synopsis
- Bruxism is a condition involving teeth clenching or grinding, often managed when adverse effects are felt, with botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) being a controversial treatment option.
- This study aims to assess the effectiveness of BoNT-A for managing bruxism in adults by analyzing systematic reviews and conducting a comprehensive literature search across multiple databases.
- The research will not require ethics approval and aims to publish findings in a high-impact journal, ensuring that results are effectively communicated to the broader scientific community.
