“…Similarly, whehn the measurements were combined between the left and right sides, the results showed the same results between bruxism and non-bruxism patients. In line with research of Hazar et al, 21 there was no significant difference in terms of the arch length and width in children with and without bruxism.…”

Bruxism is a condition that involves grinding and clenching which can place a large load on the mandible, so it can change the morphology of the mandible. Based on the Levandoski analysis, this study aimed to determine whether there are differences in the mandibular morphology between bruxism and non-bruxism patients. This study was a cross-sectional analytic study conducted on the panoramic radiographic samples of bruxism and non-bruxism patients with a total sample of 30 patients (n = 30) in each group, obtained from the radiographic archives at the Radiology Installation of RSGM Universitas Padjadjaran which have been confirmed as bruxism and non-bruxism patients. Measurements were carried out using ImageJ software based on the reference lines by Levandoski. The results of the study were analyzed using SPSS software by performing normality and homogeneity tests, followed by a statistically independent t-test or Mann-Whitney test. The results of the independent t-test showed that three lines had a p-value < 0.05, namely the line from the point gonion to the maxillary vertical line on the right side, the distance from the top point of the condyle to the maxillary interincisal point on the right side, and the distance from the top point of the condyle to the mandibular interincisal point on the right side. The Mann-Whitney test results showed that two lines had a p-value < 0.05, namely the maxillary vertical midline and the distance from the condyle to the left maxillary vertical line. The other line had a p-value> 0.05. There were differences in the mandibular morphology between bruxism and non-bruxism patients based on the Levandoski analysis, namely the length of the maxillary vertical midline, the distance from the condyle top point to the maxillary vertical midline, the distance from the point gonion to the maxillary vertical midline, the distance from the top point of the condyle to the maxillary interincisal point on the left side, and the distance from the top point of the condyle to the mandibular interincisal point on the left side. On the other four lines, there was no significant difference between bruxism and non-bruxism patients.

“…(p = 0.656). In a similar line of research, Hazar Bodrumlu et al [40] found that the length and width of the maxillary arch in child patients are not associated with bruxism. However, the scientific literature reports an association between bruxism and the presence of dental crowding [41].…”

“…Emodi-Perlman et al have reported that habits such as pacifier use and onychophagia increase the likelihood of a child developing sleep bruxism. Therefore, healthcare professionals are advised to be vigilant in identifying clinical signs of bruxism in children who exhibit or have a history of pacifier use and nail-biting [40]. These habits have been suggested to increase the risk of bruxism due to repetitive oral movements and increased muscle activity in the jaw and face.…”

Prevalence of Possible Sleep Bruxism and Its Association with Social and Orofacial Factors in Preschool Population

2023

The prevalence of bruxism in the preschool population varies according to different investigations. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sleep bruxism and its relationship with social and orofacial factors in children aged 3 to 5 years. Three hundred forty-three preschool children were divided into two groups, one with nocturnal bruxism, as reported by parents, and another without this disorder. Questionnaires were distributed to the parents to determine the children’s family social status and parafunctional habits at the time of the study. The clinical inspection confirmed the presence of certain parafunctional habits and the children’s occlusal characteristics. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequency chi-square tests to identify the influence of qualitative variables. Of the total sample, 28.9% of preschoolers presented sleep bruxism. The highest prevalence was observed in boys (61.6%) at the age of 5 years (41.4%). Characteristics associated with this pathology were lip incompetence, open bite, crossbite, and overbite, with p < 0.05. Sleep bruxism in preschool children has a higher prevalence in boys and is more frequently expressed from 5 years of age. Open bite, overbite, and crossbite should be considered factors associated with parafunction.

“…Although the etiology of this condition is still unclear, certain factors, such as temporomandibular joint disorders, stomatognathic system dysfunction, bruxism, mental disorders, or excessive use of chewing gum are thought to be involved; unilateral occurrence can be seen when patients chew or clench primarily on one side [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Bruxism may be a risk factor of malocclusion, generating higher forces due to the increased activity of the masticatory muscles; bruxism may also cause some alterations in the dimensions of the maxilla, leading to a larger palate, causing facial asymmetry and masticatory muscle hypertrophy [ 11 ]. Oral submucous fibrosis, a pre-malignant condition, also may manifest with masseter muscle hypertrophy [ 9 ].…”

Unusual Case of Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy in Adolescence—Case Report and Literature Overview

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Unilateral hypertrophy of the masseter muscle is a very rare pathological entity in children. Its etiology is uncertain and it requires a high degree of suspicion, as it must be differentiated from other conditions of the masseter area. As there are few pathological studies to elucidate this condition, we report a rare case of unilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy in a 16-year-old female patient with gradual onset of a painless swelling in the posterior left cheek which caused facial asymmetry with repercussions on the patient’s self-image. The diagnosis of unilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy was suggested by clinical examination, ultrasound scanning, and nuclear magnetic resonance, and was confirmed by histologic examination two years later when the patient returned for the surgical correction. The pathological findings report showed fragments of skeletal muscle with hypertrophic fibers associated with normal-sized muscle fibers in both longitudinal and transverse sections. The postoperative evaluation was favorable as both the adolescent and her family were satisfied with her look on the 14th day, 1st year, and 3rd year follow-ups. In conclusion, unilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy in adolescence is a sensitive problem due to the psychological implications of facial appearance. Definite diagnosis and treatment of the hypertrophied muscle is the ideal solution.
