“…Photobiomodulation therapy using infrared LED, suggested for temporomandibular disorders and fibromyalgia, was studied in children with SB. A study compared this therapy with dental splint using electromyography, and found no effect on SB activity in the masticatory muscles 52 …”

Background and ObjectiveThis review paper focuses on sleep bruxism (SB) in children and adolescents. It aims to assess the landscape of knowledge published in the last 20 years.MethodsA total of 144 relevant publications from 386 previously identified through Medline were included, of which 83 were on possible SB, 37 on probable SB, 20 on definite SB and 4 were non‐applicable. The review places emphasis on the recent evidence on prevalence, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of SB in children and adolescents, with special focus on probable and definitive SB.ResultsThe prevalence ranges from 5% to 50% depending on the age range and on the SB diagnosis (possible, probable or definitive). The pathophysiology is multifactorial, arousal associated and with behavioural problems and sleep disorders (obstructive sleep apnoea, snoring, nightmares) as risk factors, as well as respiratory conditions (allergies, oral breathing). Screening should include questionnaires and dental assessment. Instrumental recording is helpful to confirm diagnosis although more studies are needed to validate this approach in children. SB management includes controlling orofacial and dental consequences and assessing for any other comorbidity. Management options include occlusal splints, oral appliances (advancement mandibular), rapid maxillary expansion and some medications, although this last option is supported by limited evidences in children.ConclusionSuggestions of future topics in research are delivered to better understand comorbidities, diagnosis and management with improved outcomes compared to what is currently available.

“…As an emergency, physiotherapy, splint therapy, pharmacotherapy, arthrocentesis, and intra-articular hyaluronan should be considered first, as these methods do not require a donor site [ 91 , 95 , 98 ]. Good results in pain relief in patients that were diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders have also been shown for infrared light photobiomodulation [ 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 ]. Increased muscle tension can result in muscle pain that is difficult to differentiate from joint pain the more that the limitation of opening the mouth also coexists [ 26 , 91 , 96 ].…”

This systematic review aims to analyze the outcomes of the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) articular pain (AP) and restricted maximum mouth opening (MMO) with intra-articular administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The inclusion criteria allowed primary studies involving AP and/or MMO pre-treatment and post-intervention values. Medical databases that were covered by ACM Digital, BASE, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science engines were searched. The risk of bias was assessed with RoB 2 and ROBINS-I tools. The results were tabulated, plotted, and analyzed for regression. A total of 5 studies involving 51 patients/69 TMJs were identified, and 4 studies on 50 patients/67 TMJs were synthesized. Interventions were each time effective in decreasing AP and increasing MMO in a 6-month follow-up period by an average of about 85% and over 40%, respectively. Regression analysis showed a good fit of the logarithmic model for AP relief (5.8 − 0.8 ln x; R2 = 0.90) and MMO increase (33.5 + 2.4 ln x; R2 = 0.89). The results for AP and MMO were based on 3 studies in 39 patients and 4 studies in 50 patients, respectively, all at high risk of bias. The intra-articular administration of MSCs to TMJs, based on weak evidence, may be highly effective in reducing AP and improving MMO. This study received no funding.

“…Obesity Sir, we read with great interest the item in the BDJ titled 'Largest study of its kind reveals increased risk of tooth loss due to obesity' 1 on the latest evidence from a research group in Shiga University. 2 A central principle of our training was that multidisciplinary education is needed for any positive impact to be made on a person or population's quality of life (QoL). As undergraduates, it was compulsory for dental and dental hygiene and therapy students to undertake interprofessional engagement projects.…”

“…Although the occlusal splint has been considered the gold standard for the management of bruxism, the adherence to the treatment by children and their parents is challenging in clinical practice. Kobayashi et al 2 found that this mode of photobiomodulation is another option that may assist the rapid intervention of pain symptoms, promoting a considerable degree of patient comfort moments after its application.…”
