Atypical C2 fractures refer to all fracture types of the C2 body excluding odontoid fractures and traumatic spondylolisthesis of C2. A 55-year-old male patient presented with neck pain after a vehicular accident. Computed tomography (CT) showed an oblique fracture line of the C2 vertebral body through the pedicle and lamina with fracture gap and posterior displacement. We used a clenching reduction technique to treat this fracture by using an ipsilateral laminar screw and contralateral pedicle screw. The final follow-up CT scan showed complete bone union. Neck motion was preserved including rotation. For this unstable atypical C2 fracture, the clenching reduction technique proved to be a safe and effective technique while salvaging neck motion.

Background: Previous research has highlighted the multifactorial nature of awake bruxism (AB), including its associations with stress, anxiety and other psychological factors. Dispositional mindfulness, known for its benefits in enhancing emotional regulation and reducing stress, has not yet been thoroughly investigated in association with AB.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether levels of dispositional mindfulness predict the efficacy of ecological momentary intervention (EMI) in reducing the frequency of AB behaviours.

. Brain-computer interface(BCI) is leveraged by artificial intelligence in EEG signal decoding, which makes it possible to become a new means of human-machine interaction. However, the performance of current EEG decoding methods is still insufficient for clinical applications because of inadequate EEG information extraction and limited computational resources in hospitals.

Background: Patients are increasingly turning to Internet platforms for health-related information. An example is YouTube, one of the largest media-sharing networks in the world.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the informational value of YouTube videos on the treatment of bruxism with botulinum toxin, a procedure that is becoming increasingly popular in the field of dentistry.
Background: The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between bruxism and the use of Invisalign® transparent aligners, and to determine if they increase or decrease the action of bruxing with its signs and symptoms.
Material And Methods: A sample of 100 adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with transparent Invisalign® aligners was studied, analyzing signs and symptoms of bruxism by personal survey together with a clinical examination on 3 occasions: Pre-treatment, at 3 months of treatment and at 6 months of treatment.
Results: There is a statistically significant difference between the amount of bruxism and the use of Invisalign® type aligners, for all the variables analyzed except in the analysis of the increase in headaches.

Objective: Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) comprises several musculoskeletal conditions in the orofacial region, with chronic pain and/or dysfunction involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles. This study assessed the clinical characteristics of patients with TMD treated at a public tertiary care facility in Brazil.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we assessed data from adult patients attending the Center for Occlusion, TMD, and Orofacial Pain at a Brazilian school of dentistry, from 2000 to 2020.
