: The aim of this paper is to report quantitative and qualitative characteristics of bruxism events recorded in sleeping humans with a new smart ambulatory system specifically designed to measure dental clenching and grinding forces. The device is wireless and rechargeable, which enables its use over extended periods.: Thirty recordings were obtained from volunteer subjects who wore the device at home during 10 consecutive nights (Clinicaltrials.gov N° NCT03363204).: The recordings showed that the system was able to successfully monitor bruxism during 10 consecutive nights, allowing a quantitative (number, duration, intensity, distribution during the night), as well as a qualitative characterization of the bruxism events (clenching vs. grinding).: This system could offer new perspectives in the field of bruxism, either as a research tool for clinical studies or as a medical device for the ambulatory home-based monitoring of bruxism.

The Role of Occlusal Appliances in Reducing Masseter Electromyographic Activity in Bruxism.
J Clin Med
November 2024
Department of Dental Prosthetics, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania.
: Bruxism is a masticatory muscle activity, phasic or tonic, with/without teeth contact, that appears in sleep or an awake state. An instrumental technique used to measure the surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity of the masseter muscle is used to diagnose bruxism activity during sleep and while awake. The objective of this study was to compare the variation in bruxism (sleep and awake) indices and masseter activity indices in low sleep bruxism and moderate sleep bruxism before and after wearing an occlusal appliance (OA) for 3 months each night.

J Clin Sleep Med
October 2024
Yoyogi Sleep Disorder Center, Tokyo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes catathrenia, a sleep-related breathing disorder, by examining clinical features and polysomnographic data in 47 patients diagnosed with nocturnal groaning to determine its characteristics and relationship with other sleep disorders.
- Findings show no significant gender difference among participants, with an average age of onset around 18 years, and nocturnal groaning events being more common during specific sleep stages and positions.
- The results suggest that catathrenia may involve a combination of different sleep disorders due to the presence of sleep bruxism in 30% of cases, indicating a need for further research on its origins and variations.
Morning headache caused by obstructive sleep apnea misdiagnosed as temporomandibular disorders-related headache: A case report.
J Prosthodont Res
August 2024
Department of Masticatory Function and Health Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Tokyo, Japan.
Patient: A 67-year-old woman presented to our clinic with chief complaints of headache and mandibular heaviness. Physical examination revealed bilateral tenderness in the temporalis and masseter muscles, corresponding to the patient's chief complaint. Thus, a diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs)-related headache was made.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Medicine, Hyogo Medical University, Nishinomiya, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This report discusses the replacement of fixed implant-supported prostheses (FIP) with implant overdentures (IOD) in an older Parkinson's disease patient to enhance oral hygiene and manage mucosal health.
- The patient struggled with various health issues, including hospitalization for cholecystitis and aspiration pneumonia, which complicated ongoing dental care and maintenance of the IOD.
- Despite efforts to manage the patient's condition and provide regular oral cleaning, complications like mucosal ulcers and peri-implantitis persisted, ultimately leading to inadequate care and hospital readmission.
Effects of vibratory feedback stimuli through an oral appliance on sleep bruxism: A 14-week intervention trial.
J Dent Sci
July 2024
Department of Prosthodontics, Showa University School of Dentistry, Tokyo, Japan.
Background/purpose: Various biofeedback stimulation techniques for managing sleep bruxism (SB) have recently emerged; however, the effect of the successive application of vibratory feedback stimulation has not been clarified. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of vibration feedback stimulation via an oral appliance (OA) on SB.
Materials And Methods: This prospective, single-arm, open-label intervention study included 20 participants diagnosed with "definite" SB who wore a specially designed OA for 98 nights at home.
