This case is an example of a patient with apparent successful total TMJ replacement. With reconstruction of the joints with artificial implants, the loss of posterior ramus height because of complete erosion of the joints, mandibular retrognathia, and severe open bite were corrected. The improved masticatory function, absence of choking, and disappearance of sleep apnea symptoms allowed the patient to resume a more normal life. The patient will continue to be examined periodically, but the current prognosis is favorable.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the factor structure of the Oral Behaviors Checklist (OBC) in Chinese temporomandibular disorder (TMDs) patients and compare the outcomes with those of Western patients. Additionally, it examined the correlations between different OBC subscale scoring methods.
Methods: A total of 869 patients completed a survey that included demographic information, the Symptom Questionnaire, and OBC.

Background: Despite considerable improvements in oral health in recent decades, caries and periodontitis are still widespread, ranking among the most prevalent diseases worldwide and requiring future research. The German National Cohort (NAKO Gesundheitsstudie, NAKO) is a large-scaled, multidisciplinary, nationwide, multi-centre, population-based, prospective cohort study with oral examinations that aims to provide a resource to study risk factors for major diseases. The aim of the present article is to provide the methodological background, to report on the data quality, and to present initial results of the oral examinations.

Background/purpose: Chewing difficulty can contribute to psychological stress, which reduces the quality of life for older adults. The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the severity of masticatory discomfort, stress response, and sleep disturbance in older patients experiencing masticatory discomfort due to tooth loss or temporomandibular disorders (TMD), to find the further treatment direction for these patients.
Materials And Methods: A total of 392 patients aged 50 years and older with mastication difficulties were analyzed.

In current alloplastic total temporomandibular joint replacements (TMJRs) typically the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) insertion is sacrificed, affecting joint function. This study assesses a novel additively manufactured TMJR (CADskills BV, Gent, Belgium) designed to enable LPM reinsertion through a scaffold feature on the implant. Thirteen TMJRs were implanted in Swifter crossbreed sheep, with follow-up CT scans after 288 days to evaluate LPM reintegration.

Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
Background: The Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) contain three subscales measuring depression, anxiety, and stress. Several abbreviated DASS-21 versions have been developed, demonstrating better clinical utility and measurement properties than the original instrument. This study explored the factor structure of various abbreviated DASS-21 versions and identified/validated the optimal one for assessing young adults with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs).
