Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) are a subgroup of painful orofacial disorders of the stomatognathic system, characterized by TemporoMandibular Joint (TMJ) pain, fatigue of the cranio-cervico-facial muscles (especially the masticatory muscles), limitation of mandibular movement and the presence of
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) occurs as a result of the impaired functioning of the structures of the masticatory system. This disruption affects the chewing muscles, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and related structures around the joint. TMJD can produce signs and symptoms, including
There is no certain treatment for Bruxism. However, the most recent recommendation is to follow the Multiple-P approach prior to medical drug regimens and invasive procedures. Different methods used in the conservative management of Bruxism are known as the "multiple-P" approach, which consists of;
42 edentulous patients having implant retained mandibular overdenture suffering from bruxism with clinical manifestation, will be randomly divided into three groups, group 1 control group (traditional approach of removing denture at night) ,group 2 will be managed by occlusal splints whereas group 3
Trait anxiety is a major risk factor for developing anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder, all sharing the same genetic and environmental etiological factors. Another hypothesis is that the etiological factors predispose first to the occurrence of trait anxiety which afterwards, develops
Sleep breathing disorders are a frequent and serious health problem in the Polish population. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder. The essence of OSA is repeated episodes of airway obstruction that occur repeatedly during sleep, resulting in a decrease in the level of partial oxygen
Currently, as sleep and awake bruxism are generally considered as different behaviours observed during sleep and wakefulness, respectively, the single definition for bruxism is recommended be "retired" in favour of 2 separate definitions. In this sense, the sleep bruxism is a masticatory muscle
Pilot Study:
30 subjects will be recruited for this pilot study. An oral exam will be performed to check for gingiva and tooth conditions as well as fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria as described below. Subjects will be randomly assigned to an active treatment or a control group. OstiSense
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is an umbrella term to describe different disorders that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and/or muscles of mastication 1. TMD is one of the most common chronic orofacial pain conditions and the second most commonly occurring musculoskeletal condition,
Bruxism is different from temporomandibular joint disease because of long periods of muscle contraction. It is considered an eloquent contributory factor in the etiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The incidence of bruxism is estimated to be approximately between 5% and 10% of the adult
Bruxism is consensually defined as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity, characterized by the clenching or grinding of the teeth and by the bracing or thrusting of the mandible. Considered a common parafunctional activity, its symptoms include hypersensitive teeth, aching jaw muscles, headaches, tooth
Many studies are done on children to show the prevalence of bruxism among different ages , reports of prevalence range from 8-31% in the general population, the prevalence of bruxism in Egyptian children is unknown. Several symptoms are commonly associated with bruxism, including hypersensitive
51 subjects were selected and separated into two groups: those new to the treatment (Group 1)and those who had been in treatment for more than 1 year (Group 2). There were 32 participants in group 1 and 19 in group 2. mean age for Group 1 was 41.7 and Group 2 was 50.5. The age range for Group 1 was
Introduction Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of conditions involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles and associated structures. This broad complex of functional disorders often affects the face and jaws causing chronic pain, earaches, headaches, migraines, neck
The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the electromyographic activity of the masseter, anterior temporal and trapezius muscles as well as bite force, occlusal contacts and salivary cortisol following the administration of low-level laser therapy at acupoints or occlusal splint usage in
