ABSTRACT
La estética ha llegado a formar una parte muy importante en la odontología actual. Sin embargo, no debemos sobreponer las necesidades estéticas sobre las necesidades funcionales. La pérdida de estructura dental asociada a bruxismo puede ser considerada patológica cuando compromete la guía anterior, la cual es la influencia en los movimientos mandibulares que proveen las superficies contactantes de los dientes maxilares anteriores con los mandibulares anteriores y evita contactos excéntricos dañinos en los dientes posteriores. El objetivo de este reporte de caso es presentar una alternativa conservadora para restablecer tanto la estética como la funcionalidad de una paciente de 34 años de edad que acudió a la Clínica de Prostodoncia de la Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara en busca de rehabilitación estética de dientes anteriores. Una vez realizada su evaluación inicial se llegó al diagnóstico de pérdida de guía anterior por desgaste patológico asociado a bruxismo. El tratamiento incluyó tratamientos de conductos, remoción de caries y restauraciones mal ajustadas, coronas y carillas para restablecer la guía anterior. Se cumplieron con las expectativas estéticas que tenía la paciente al igual que con las necesidades funcionales que fueron objetivo desde el inicio, logrando un restablecimiento de la guía anterior de manera conservadora (AU)
Esthetics has become a very important part of dentistry today. However, we should not superimpose esthetic needs over functional needs. The loss of tooth structure associated with bruxism can be considered pathologic when it compromises the anterior guidance, which is the influence on mandibular movements that provides the contacting surfaces of the maxillary anterior teeth with the mandibular anterior teeth and avoids damaging eccentric contacts in the posterior teeth. The aim of this case report is to present a conservative way to restore both esthetics and function in a 34-year-old patient who came to the Prosthodontics Clinic of the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara in search of an esthetic appearance of her anterior teeth. After her initial evaluation, a diagnosis of anterior guide loss due to pathological wear associated with bruxism was made. Treatment included root canal treatment, removal of caries, and ill-fitting restorations, crowns, and veneers to reestablish the anterior guidance. The aesthetic expectations of the patient have met as well as the functional needs that were aimed from the beginning, achieving a conservative reestablishment of the anterior guidance system (AU)

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the influence of perceived stress during the COVID-19 pandemic over awake bruxism (AB) and sleep bruxism (SB). Material and Methods: Observational web-based research carried out in a state in the Brazilian Northeast. The sample was composed of dental students from seven faculties, divided into three groups: beginning (1-4 semesters), middle (5-7), and end (8-10). An online questionnaire was constructed: Socio-demographic, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Self-reported AB and SB, and COVID-19 Fear Scale. Data were collected from April to June 2021 by sending the questionnaire through WhatsApp®, e-mail, and Instagram®. After bivariate analyses, a multiple logistic regression model was performed to discriminate variables for perceived stress and AB and SB. Hosmer and Lemeshow and chi-square tests were used to check the model's goodness of fit. Results: A total of 391 dental students participated in this research - most women (69.8%), unmarried (69.8%), family income less than three minimum wages (60.9%), self-reported physical activity (63.3%). Perceived stress was low to moderate (72.1%), SB was 39.6%, AB was 49.6%, and low COVID-19 fear was 81.1%. COVID-19 fear (3.03), being female (2.47), and using psychotropic (2.53) increases the chance of being stressed. Perceived stress can predict AB in models 1 (p=0.008) and 4 (p=0.039). There was no significance for perceived stress and SB. Conclusion: Perceived stress during the COVID-19 pandemic influenced awake bruxism.

El propósito de este estudio fue analizar el comportamiento mecánico de la estructura dental sana de un primer premolar inferior humano sometido a fuerzas funcionales y disfuncionales en diferentes direcciones. Se buscó comprender, bajo las variables contempladas, las zonas de concentración de esfuerzos que conllevan al daño estructural de sus constituyentes y tejidos adyacentes. Se realizó el modelo 3D de la reconstrucción de un archivo TAC de un primer premolar inferior, que incluyó esmalte, dentina, ligamento periodontal y hueso alveolar considerando tres variables: dirección, magnitud y área de la fuerza aplicada. La dirección fue dirigida en tres vectores (vertical, tangencial y horizontal) bajo cuatro magnitudes, una funcional de 35 N y tres disfuncionales de 170, 310 y 445 N, aplicadas sobre un área de la cara oclusal y/o vestibular del premolar que involucró tres contactos estabilizadores (A, B y C) y dos paradores de cierre. Los resultados obtenidos explican el fenómeno de combinar tres vectores, cuatro magnitudes y un área de aplicación de la fuerza, donde los valores de esfuerzo efectivo equivalente Von Mises muestran valores máximos a partir de los 60 MPa. Los valores de tensión máximos se localizan, bajo la carga horizontal a 170 N y en el proceso masticatorio en la zona cervical, cuando la fuerza pasa del 60 %. Sobre la base de los hallazgos de este estudio, se puede concluir que la reacción de los tejidos a fuerzas funcionales y disfuncionales varía de acuerdo con la magnitud, dirección y área de aplicación de la fuerza. Los valores de tensión resultan ser más altos bajo la aplicación de fuerzas disfuncionales tanto en magnitud como en dirección, produciendo esfuerzos tensiles significativos para la estructura dental y periodontal cervical, mientras que, bajo las cargas funcionales aplicadas en cualquier dirección, no se generan esfuerzos lesivos. Esto supone el reconocimiento del poder de detrimento estructural del diente y periodonto frente al bruxismo céntrico y excéntrico.
SUMMARY: The purpose of this study was to analyze the mechanical behavior of the healthy dental structure of a human mandibular first premolar subjected to functional and dysfunctional forces in different directions. It was sought to understand, under the contemplated variables, the areas of stress concentration that lead to structural damage of its constituents and adjacent tissues. The 3D model of the reconstruction of a CT file of a lower first premolar was made, which included enamel, dentin, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone considering three variables: direction, magnitude and area of the applied force. The direction was directed in three vectors (vertical, tangential and horizontal) under four magnitudes, one functional of 35 N and three dysfunctional of 170, 310 and 445 N, applied to an area of the occlusal and/or buccal face of the premolar that involved three stabilizing contacts (A, B and C) and two closing stops. The results obtained explain the phenomenon of combining three vectors, four magnitudes and an area of force application, where the values of effective equivalent Von Mises stress show maximum values from 60 MPa. The maximum tension values are located under the horizontal load at 170 N and in the masticatory process in the cervical area, when the force exceeds 60%. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the reaction of tissues to functional and dysfunctional forces varies according to the magnitude, direction, and area of application of the force. The stress values turn out to be higher under the application of dysfunctional forces both in magnitude and in direction, producing significant tensile stresses for the dental and cervical periodontal structure, while under functional loads applied in any direction, no damaging stresses are generated. This supposes the recognition of the power of structural detriment of the tooth and periodontium against centric and eccentric bruxism.

Paralisia cerebral é um quadro resultante de lesão encefálica não progressiva que ocorre no desenvolvimento fetal ou primeira infância caracterizada principalmente por alterações no tônus muscular. Nestas pessoas, as estruturas de mastigação, como músculos e articulações tem repercussões graças aos distúrbios neuromotores. Bruxismo é uma atividade involuntária de contração muscular, de origem central, caracterizado pelo hábito de ranger ou apertar os dentes, sendo o hábito oral parafuncional que mais acomete esses indivíduos. Este artigo tem o objetivo de relatar o caso de uma paciente de 26 anos portadora de paralisia cerebral que procurou tratamento na clínica odontológica da Universidade Federal Fluminense. A paciente apresentava bruxismo severo e foi utilizada a toxina botulínica tipo A para o tratamento, como alternativa eficiente e segura. Pode-se concluir que as aplicações intramusculares de toxina botulínica foi um tratamento eficiente e seguro no relato de caso apresentado para o tratamento de bruxismo severo em paciente com autismo.
Cerebral palsy is a result of non-progressive brain injury that occurs in fetal development or early childhood, characterized mainly by changes in muscle tone. In these people, chewing structures, such as muscles and joints, have repercussions thanks to neuromotor disorders. Bruxism is an involuntary activity of muscle contraction, of central origin, characterized by the habit of grinding or clenching teeth, being the parafunctional oral habit that most affects these individuals. This article aims to report the case of a 26-year-old patient with cerebral palsy who sought treatment at the dental clinic of Universidade Federal Fluminense. The patient had severe bruxism and botulinum toxin type A was used for treatment as an efficient and safe alternative. It can be concluded that the intramuscular applications of botulinum toxin was an efficient and safe treatment in the case report presented for the treatment of severe bruxism in a patient with autism.

O envelhecimento bucal precoce apresenta cada vez uma maior incidência nos consultórios odontológicos e sua degradação aos tecidos orais exige uma atenção por parte do cirurgiãodentista devido ao seu alto grau de complexidade. Esse envelhecimento precoce é causado principalmente por hábitos parafuncionais, dieta ou ambos. Suas consequências são desgastes patológicos dos tecidos dentários, extrusão passiva, perda de dimensão vertical e comprometimento estético e funcional. Por conta disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar um relato de caso clínico em um paciente jovem e com queixa estética como consequência de hábitos parafuncionais, aonde foram realizados uma reabilitação oral envolvendo aumento da dimensão vertical de oclusão através de Table Tops sem desgastes dentários e restaurações estéticas, ambas com resina composta. Essa reabilitação devolveu a DVO da paciente, trazendo conforto, contatos estáveis, guias de desoclusão e satisfação estética e funcional por parte da paciente(AU)
Early oral aging has an increasing incidence in dental offices and its degradation to oral tissues requires attention from the dentist due to its high degree of complexity. This premature aging is mainly caused by parafunctional habits, diet, or both. Its consequences are pathological wear of dental tissues, passive extrusion, loss of vertical dimension and aesthetic and functional impairment. Because of this, the present study aims to carry out a clinical case report in a young patient with an aesthetic complaint as a result of parafunctional habits, where an oral rehabilitation was carried out involving an increase in the vertical dimension of occlusion through Table Tops without dental wear and aesthetic restorations, both with composite resin. This rehabilitation returned the patient's OVD, bringing comfort, stable contacts, disocclusion guides and aesthetic and functional satisfaction on the part of the patient(AU)

Evaluate the prevalence of bruxism and to analyze what are the possible associated factors with this condition in students of a Brazilian university. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 230 students randomly selected among undergraduate courses at a university center. The dependent variable was the presence of awake bruxism and sleep bruxism. The independent variables were sociodemographic factors, smoking, alcohol consumption, oral habits and stress perception (Perceived Stress Scale- PSS 14). Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were used. Results: The prevalence of awake bruxism was 28.7% and was associated with the independent variables: course (degree program), gum chewing habits, chin hand placing, facedown sleeping and one-side biting. Sleep bruxism had a 7.0% prevalence and displayed association with gum chewing, pens/pencils/objects biting, tongue/lips/cheeks biting, nails biting and one-side biting. Perceived stress was not associated with either type of bruxism. Conclusion: Bruxism has an important prevalence among university students, especially when distinguishing between awake bruxism and sleep bruxism

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence and distribution of tooth wear due to dental attrition among 12-year-old adolescents according to their gender, reports of tooth grinding during sleep/while awake (bruxism), and sleep features related to sleep-disordered breathing. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 172 adolescents from southeast Brazil. Parents/caregivers answered questions about sociodemographic characteristics; reports of adolescents' tooth grinding during sleep, and sleep features (e.g. sleep duration and position, snoring, drooling on the pillow) in the previous two weeks. Adolescents self-reported the occurrence of tooth clenching/grinding while awake in the previous two weeks. Tooth wear due to dental attrition was assessed by a previously calibrated researcher, using a validated 5-point analogical ordinal occlusal/incisal tooth wear grading scale, with scores ranging from 0 (no wear) to 4 (loss of crown height ≥ 2/3), depending on tooth wear severity. Descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05) were performed to identify differences in tooth wear due to the distribution of dental attrition, according to adolescents' characteristics. Results: Most adolescents were female (58.0%) and 81.6% of the participants presented tooth wear due to dental attrition within the enamel. Adolescents who snored had a higher number of incisors with tooth wear due to dental attrition (p = 0.035). Females showed a higher number of canines with tooth wear due to dental attrition (p = 0.020). Adolescents whose parents reported tooth grinding during sleep presented a higher number of bicuspids with tooth wear due to dental attrition (p = 0.001). Conclusion:Tooth wear due to dental attrition within the enamel was observed in most adolescents. The distribution, depending on specific groups of teeth, was higher among female adolescents, adolescents' whose parents reported tooth grinding, and adolescents who snored during sleep.
Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência e distribuição de DDA entre adolescentes de 12 anos de acordo com o sexo, relato de ranger de dentes durante o sono e vigília (bruxismo) e características relacionadas a desordens respiratórias do sono.Método: Desenvolveu-se um estudo transversal com 172 adolescentes do sudeste do Brasil. Seus pais/responsáveis responderam um questionário contendo informações sociodemográficas, relato sobre os filhos rangerem os dentes durante o sono e hábitos do sono dos filhos (duração do sono, posição que dorme, roncar, babar no travesseiro) nas duas últimas semanas. Adolescentes relataram ocorrência de ranger/apertar de dentes durante a vigília nas duas últimas semanas. DDA foi avaliado por um pesquisador previamente calibrado através de uma escala analógica ordinal de cinco pontos de desgaste dentário para faces oclusal/incisal previamente validada, com escores variando de 0 (sem desgaste) a 4 (perda da coroa em altura ≥ 2/3), dependendo da gravidade do desgaste. Análises descritivas e teste de Mann-Whitney (p < 0,05) foram realizados para identificar as diferenças na distribuição de DDA de acordo com as características dos adolescentes.Resultados: A maioria dos adolescentes eram meninas (58,0%) e 81,6% dos participantes apresentaram DDA em esmalte em algum elemento dentário. Adolescentes que rocavam apresentavam mais incisivos com DDA (p = 0.035). Meninas apresentaram maior número de caninos com DDA (p = 0.020). Adolescentes que rangiam os dentes durante a noite apresentaram maior número de pré-molares com DDA (p = 0.001).Conclusão: Desgaste dentário por atrição em esmalte foi observado na maioria dos adolescentes. A distribuição, dependendo de grupos de dentes específicos, foi maior entre meninas, adolescentes que roncavam durante o sono e que rangiam os dentes durante o sono.

Objetivo: Compreender como os diversos tipos de biofeedback agem, e se são eficazes no controle do bruxismo do sono e vigília. Métodos: trata-se de uma revisão de escopo, com busca em três bases de dados, Medline (Pubmed e BVS), PEDRo e Cochrane, e redigida de acordo com as diretrizes do PRISMA-ScR. Resultados: Foram encontradas 595 referências. Após a remoção das duplicatas e da aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, trinta e cinco artigos foram incluídos. A maioria investigou o bruxismo do sono e o uso de placas orais integradas a sistemas de biofeedback, principalmente através de estímulos exteroceptivos. Na maioria dos artigos, o biofeedback foi efetivo a curto prazo para o bruxismo do sono, reduzindo a duração dos episódios, mas não alterando o número de episódios do bruxismo, mas com retorno aos níveis do pré-tratamento. O uso do biofeedback foi mais efetivo para o bruxismo de vigília e nos estudos que investigaram ambos os tipos de bruxismo, mas, com o uso do biofeedback apenas no período diurno, foi possível observar uma redução tanto nos eventos do bruxismo de vigília como nos do sono. Conclusão: A maioria das pesquisas se utilizou do biofeedback por meio de estímulo exteroceptivo, com reforço negativo a um estímulo aversivo; poucos estudos utilizaram o biofeedback com o propósito de condicionamento motor ou de mudança comportamental, sendo esses mais eficazes, mesmo após a retirada do estímulo.
Aim:To comprehend the functioning of various biofeedback types and their effectiveness in controlling sleep and awake bruxism. Methods: This is a scoping review, conducted in three databases: Medline (Pubmed and VHL), PEDRo, and Cochrane, and was written according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Results: Our study found 595 references; after removing duplicates and applying the eligibility criteria, thirty-five articles were included. Most studies examined the effectiveness of biofeedback systems that integrated oral splints, primarily through the use of exteroceptive stimuli, to manage sleep bruxism. Although biofeedback was found to reduce the duration of bruxism episodes in the short term in most articles, it did not significantly change the number of episodes, which reverted to pre-treatment levels. The use of biofeedback was more effective for awake bruxism. Moreover, in the studies that investigated both types of bruxism, but with the use of biofeedback only during the day, it was possible to observe a reduction in both the events of awake and sleep bruxism. Conclusion: Most studies used biofeedback with negative reinforcement through exteroceptive stimulation to an aversive stimulus. Few studies use biofeedback for motor conditioning or behavioral change. The latter approaches proved to be more effective, even after discontinuing the stimulus.

Bullying é um comportamento agressivo que gera consequências emocionais. Indivíduos vulneráveis estão sujeitos a sofrer esta agressão. Bruxismo do sono (BS) é uma atividade muscular mastigatória que está associado a fatores psicossociais. O objetivo do artigo 1 (n=431) foi analisar a associação de possível BS com bullying escolar. O objetivo do artigo 2 (n=425) foi identificar a associação entre fatores desencadeantes de bullying e indivíduos envolvidos em bullying como vítimas e vítimas-intimidadores. O objetivo do artigo 3 foi analisar a acurácia da resposta dada pelos responsáveis em um questionário acerca do BS comparado ao diário do sono. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa em Humanos da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (protocolo 82839718.4.0000.5149). Participaram da pesquisa escolares com idade entre 8 a 11 anos, matriculados em escolas públicas e privadas de Lavras, e seus responsáveis. Os responsáveis responderam a um questionário, desenvolvido para a pesquisa, com duas perguntas sobre a ocorrência do BS (ranger de dentes [RD]) nos escolares, dados sociodemográficos e um diário do sono de sete dias. Os escolares responderam um questionário, desenvolvido para a pesquisa, sobre dentes, cabelo, cor da pele, altura, peso, boca, nariz e outras características que podem interferir no relacionamento com os pares na escola; e preencheram a versão brasileira do Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire. A análise estatística do artigo 1, 2 e 3 incluiu análises descritivas. A regressão de Poisson (RR:Razão das Taxas) foi utilizada no artigo 1 e a regressão Logística Multinomial (OR) no artigo 2 (p≤0,05). No artigo 3 os resultados foram fornecidos com curva ROC e medição de acurácia (área sob a curva AUC). Como resultado para o artigo 1 verificou-se que a frequência de RD entre os escolares vítimas-intimidadores foi 1,57 maior (RR=1,57; IC95%=1,042,36; p= 0,030). A frequência de RD entre os escolares que relataram acordar cansados pela manhã pelo menos uma vez por semana foi 1,33 vezes maior (RR=1,33; IC95%=1,001,78; p=0,050) e a frequência de RD entre escolares cuja renda familiar mensal é igual ou inferior a um salário mínimo apresentou 1,49 vezes maior (RR=1,49, IC95%=1,04-2,13, p=0,027). No artigo 2 observou-se que escolares vítimas-intimidadores eram mais propensos a serem de escola pública (OR=5,43, IC95%=1,14-25,91; p=0,034) e os escolares vítimas de bullying eram mais propensos a relatarem outras características individuais, como uso de óculos (OR=3,31; IC95%=1,14-9,57; p=0,027) e características dos dentes (OR=3,80; IC95%=1,38-10,41; p=0,010) como fatores que atrapalham seu convívio com os colegas. No artigo 3 verificou-se que a comparação do questionário com o diário do sono, para diagnóstico de BS, demonstrou uma AUC de 87,6% (IC95%=83,2% - 92,1%). Conclui-se que estar envolvido em comportamentos de bullying na escola, cansaço do escolar ao acordar e baixa renda familiar estão associados ao possível BS entre escolares. Os achados mostraram, também, que dentes e outras características individuais estão associados à ser vítima de bullying e estar envolvido em bullying como vítima-intimidador está associado com o tipo de escola. O questionário de diagnóstico de BS mostrou uma acurácia relevante quando comparado ao diário do sono de 7 dias.
Bullying is an aggressive behavior that generates emotional consequences. Vulnerable individuals are more likely to suffer this aggression. Sleep bruxism is a masticatory muscle activity that is associated with psychosocial factors. The objective of article 1 (n=431) was to analyze the association of possible sleep bruxism (SB) with school bullying. The objective of article 2 (n=425) was to identify the association between triggering factors of bullying and individuals involved in bullying as victims and bully-victims. The objective of article 3 was to analyze the accuracy of the response given by guardians in a questionnaire about sleep bruxism (SB) compared to the sleep diary. The study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Minas Gerais under protocol number CAAE 82839718.4.0000.5149. Schoolchildren aged between 8 and 11 years old, enrolled in public and private schools in Lavras, and their guardians participated in the research. Guardians answered a questionnaire, developed for research, about the occurrence of SB (gnashing teeth [GT]) in schoolchildren, sociodemographic data, and a seven- day sleep diary. The schoolchildren answered a questionnaire, developed for research, about teeth, hair, skin color, height, weight, mouth, nose, and other factors that can interfere with peer relationships at school. They completed the Brazilian version of the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire. Statistical analysis of articles 1, 2 and 3 included descriptive analyses. Poisson regression (RR-Rate Ratio) was used in article 1 and Multinomial Logistic (OR) regression in article 2 (p≤0.05). In article 3 the results were provided with a ROC curve and accuracy measurement (area under the curve AUC). As a result of article 1, it was found that the frequence of GT among schoolchildren were victims-bullies had 1.57 times higher (RR = 1.57; 95%CI=1.04 2.36; p= 0.030). The frequence of GT among schoolchildren who reported waking up tired in the morning at least once a week was 1.33 times higher (RR=1.33; 95%CI=1.001.78; p=0.050), frequence of GT among schoolchildren whose family monthly income is equal to a minimum wage or less presented 1.49 times higher (RR=1.49, 95% CI=1.042.13, p=0.027). In article 2, it was observed that bully-victim schoolchildren were more likely to be from public schools (OR=5.43, 95%CI=1.14- 25.91; p=0.034) and bullied schoolchildren were more likely to report other individual characteristics (example: use of glasses) (OR=3.31; 95%CI=1.14-9.57; p=0.027) and teeth characteristics (PR=3.80; 95%CI=1.38 -10.41; p=0.010) as factors that interfere with his interaction with colleagues. In article 3, it was found that the comparison of the questionnaire with the sleep diary, for the diagnosis of SB, showed an AUC of 87.6% (CI95%=83.2% - 92.1%) It was concluded that being involved in bullying behaviors at school, schoolchildren tiredness upon waking up, and low family income are associated with possible SB among students. The findings also showed that teeth and other individual characteristics are associated with bullying victims and being involved in bullying as a bully-victim is associated with the type of school. The SB diagnostic questionnaire showed relevant accuracy when compared to the 7-day sleep diary.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the prevalence of bruxism in Iranian children aged 6 to 12 years. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 600 schoolchildren aged 6-12 years. The questionnaire consisted of two sections: the first section included demographic information, while the second evaluated the occurrence of bruxism. Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-Square, Fisher and Multinomial logistic regression were used. A level of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: 698 questionnaires were distributed, of which 600 participants were returned. According to Multinomial logistic regression, awake bruxism was associated significantly with the following variables: age, sequence of birth, recurrent headache, gastrointestinal disease, nasal obstruction, neurological disorder, easy child crying, sleep disorders, talking in a dream and snoring and jaw disorder. Sleep bruxism was associated significantly with age, premature birth, allergy, gastrointestinal disease, drooling, mouth breathing, nasal obstruction, oral habit, nail biting, sleep disorder, jaw disorders, and family history. Conclusion: Pre-birth and post-birth factors play an important role in the prevalence of bruxism in society. It is possible to prevent complications of bruxism by informing parents and making a timely diagnosis. Parents should be aware of this occurrence to reduce possible related factors to teeth and the masticatory system.

Abstract Bruxism is the repetitive muscle-mandibular behavior characterized by clenching and/or grinding of the teeth, which reflects the presence of one or more underlying conditions or factors. The objective of this descriptive study was to determine the association between bruxism and stress self-perceived during the pandemic, as well as their frequency by gender and academic area. An interrogation and self-perceived stress scale PSS-14 were applied to students from the different areas of the Institute of Health Sciences (ICSa) to determine the presence or absence of stress and bruxism symptom, a Chi-square was used for the comparison between variables, considering a value of p0.005. ICSa students between 18 and 24 age perceive symptoms of bruxism and high levels of stress caused during the pandemic.

Abstract Is our goal in this paper to discuss the current concepts about bruxism, a topic that has been a matter of discussion on the dental field for many years. Recent International efforts have been made to challenge bruxism old definitions; this has derivate to a consensus and an actual new concept that defines bruxism as a behavior instead of a disorder. As a behavior, it is explained in this review how it can have negative health consequences, can be innocuous and how new research support that bruxism can even be a protective factor. Different etiological factors are reviewed in this paper as well the influence of external and internal mechanism related to medications, emotional stress, systemic factors, and potential pharmacological pathways. Moreover, it is briefly summarized the role of oral appliances on sleep bruxism. Finally, clinical considerations and recommendation for the dental professional regarding sings that should be notice during the exam are part of this overview.
Resumen Es nuestro objetivo en este artículo discutir los conceptos actuales sobre el bruxismo, un tema que ha sido motivo de discusión en el campo odontológico durante muchos años. Se han hecho esfuerzos internacionales recientes para desafiar las viejas definiciones de bruxismo; esto ha derivado en un consenso y en la actualidad un nuevo concepto que define al bruxismo como un comportamiento en lugar de un trastorno. Como conducta, se explica en esta revisión cómo puede tener consecuencias negativas para la salud, puede ser inocuo y cómo nuevas investigaciones avalan que el bruxismo puede incluso ser un factor protector. En este artículo se exponen diferentes factores etiológicos, así como la influencia de mecanismos externos e internos relacionados como: medicamentos, estrés emocional, factores sistémicos y posibles vías farmacológicas. Además, se resume brevemente el papel de los aparatos orales en el bruxismo del sueño. Finalmente, se presentan consideraciones clínicas y la recomendación para el profesional en odontología con respecto a los signos que deben ser observados durante el examen clínico son parte de esta revisión.

Com o aumento da população brasileira e consequentemente o número de edêntulos realizando tratamentos reabilitadores com implantes dentários, se tornou frequente aparições de complicações como, por exemplo, sua fratura. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar as causas prováveis relacionadas a fratura de implante dentário, através de um relato de caso clínico onde pode-se avaliar a condição da fratura apresentada e como foi solucionada. Após a analise do caso clínico, foi constatado que o principal fator que levou a sua fratura foram as sobrecargas oclusais associadas ao mal posicionamento e a qualidade do implante antigo. A partir disso, conclui-se que é de extrema importância o cirurgião dentista estar ciente de todas as possíveis complicações acerca do implante dentário, afim de realizar um bom planejamento cirúrgico diminuindo a taxa de insucesso levando a um bom prognóstico.
With the increase of the Brazilian population and, consequently, the number of edentulous individuals undergoing rehabilitation treatmentes with dental implants, the appearance of complications such as, for example, their fracture has become frequent. The present work aims to presente the probable causes related to dental implant fracture, trough a clinical case report where the condition of the fracture presented and how it was resolved can be evaluated. After analyzing the clinical case, it was found that de main factor that led to its fracture were the occlusal overloads associated with poor positioning and the quality of the old implant. From this , it is concluded that it is extremely important for the dental surgeon to be aware of all possible complications regarding the dental implant, in order to carry out a good surgical planning, reducing the failure rate, leading to a good prognosis.

La cefalea es uno de los motivos de consulta más frecuente en nuestros pacientes, presentando una alta prevalencia en niños en edades escolares y adolescentes. El objetivo de este reporte de casos es describir casos de niños entre 6 y 13 años, quienes presentan cefalea tensional crónica. Al examen clínico se observa maloclusión, dolor a la palpación de músculos masticatorios y bruxismo. Todos los pacientes tenían características comunes en su personalidad, siendo perfeccionistas, estudiosos y preocupados. La terapia que se les realizó fue la confección de una férula oclusal orgánica, construida en relación céntrica, y se controlaron cada 15 días. Luego de un mes de tratamiento los pacientes mostraron una remisión total de las cefaleas y de la contractura muscular, llegando a la conclusión de que los planos de relajación sirven para aliviar la cefalea tensional en niños con bruxismo y maloclusión, siempre realizando un correcto diagnóstico previo.
Headache is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in our patients, with a high prevalence in school-age children of and adolescents. The objective of this case report is to present cases of children between 6 and 13 years old, who have chronic tension headache. On clinical examination, malocclusion, palpation of masticatory muscles and bruxism were observed. All the patients had common characteristics in their personality, being perfectionists, studious and concerned. The therapy consisted of the preparation of an occlusal splint, with partial or total coverage depending on the case, and they were monitored every 15 days.

Resumen El bruxismo es el hábito de apretamiento y rechinamiento de los órganos dentarios (ODs), existiendo contactos dentarios que no tienen propósito. La calidad de vida relacionada con la salud oral (CVRSO), se define como un aspecto multidimensional que refleja la comodidad del individuo en relación con sus funciones fisiológicas y psicológicas, del estado de salud oral. Determinar la relación entre el probable bruxismo y la CVRSO en pacientes que acuden para atención en la Unidad Universitaria de Inserción Social (UUIS) de la Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY), de septiembre 2019 a enero 2020. Observacional, analítico de casos controles y transversal. Aplicándose a 70 pacientes dos instrumentos: el OHIP-EE-14 (validado por Castrejón-Pérez R.C., Borges-Yañez S.A.) y un cuestionario elaborado por Mendiburu-Zavala C., con base a Ordoñez Plaza et al., González-Emsoto et al., y De La Hoz-Aizpurua et al para el diagnóstico de probable bruxismo. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva e inferencial. Un 47.1% (n=33) sí presentó probable bruxismo (CPB) y un 52.9% (n=37) no (SPB). El grupo etario más frecuente fue el de 18-35 años, con 67.2% (n=47), un 34.3% (n=24) CPB. La manifestación circadiana, más frecuente fue la de vigilia con 49% (n=16). Los de CPB, se obtuvo una media de 20.45±7.95 en la puntuación del OHIP-EE-14 (CVRSO) y SPB, la media fue de 7.81±4.84. Si existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los pacientes CPB y los SPB (p<.001). El probable bruxismo si repercute en el nivel de la CVRSO.
Abstract Bruxism is the habit of squeezing and grinding the dental organs (ODs), with dental contacts that have no purpose. The Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) is defined as a multidimensional aspect that reflects the comfort of the individual in relation to their physiological and psychological functions, of the state of oral health. To determine the relationship between probable bruxism and OHRQoL in patients who came for care at the University Unit of Social Insertion (UUIS) of the Autonomous University of Yucatán (UADY), México from September 2019 to January 2020. Observational, analytical of case controls and cross-sectional. Two instruments were applied to 70 patients: the OHIP-EE-14 (validated by Castrejón-Pérez R.C., Borges-Yañez S.A.) and a questionnaire prepared by Mendiburu-Zavala C., based on Ordoñez Plaza et al., González-Emsoto et al., and De La Hoz-Aizpurua et al for the diagnosis of probable bruxism. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. 47.1% (n=33) did present probable bruxism (CPB) and 52.9% (n=37) did not (SPB). The most frequent age group was 18-35 years old, with 67.2% (n=47), 34.3% (n=24) CPB. The most frequent circadian manifestation was waking with 49% (n=16). Those of CPB, a mean of 20.45±7.95 was obtained in the OHIP-EE-14 for the OHRQoL and SPB score, the mean was 7.81±4.84. There are statistically significant differences between CPB and SPB patients (p<.001). The probable bruxism does affect the OHRQoL level.

El bruxismo es una disfunción neuromuscular considerada hoy día una parafunción, ya sea consciente (bruxismo en vigilia) o inconsciente (bruxismo del sueño). Debido al posible daño que puede ocasionar en las estructuras del aparato estomatognático, el tratamiento precoz resulta muy importante, de ahí la necesidad de un diagnóstico temprano para aplicar medidas preventivas y curativas. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, se realizó el presente estudio con el objetivo de fundamentar diferentes aspectos concernientes al tema en cuestión.
Bruxism is a neuromuscular dysfunction considered a parafunction nowadays, either conscious (awake bruxism) or unconscious (sleep bruxism). The early treatment is very important due to the possible damage that can cause in the structures of the stomatognathic system, hence the necessity of an early diagnosis to apply preventive and healing measures. Taking into acount the above-mentioned, the present study was carried out aimed at supporting different aspects concerning the topic in question.

O Bruxismo é um comportamento, com atividade muscular mastigatória, que pode apresentar-se como bruxismo do sono (BS) e bruxismo em vigília (BV). Possui etiologia multifatorial, sendo pouco explorado entre adolescente. Essa tese é composta por dois artigos que avaliam a prevalência, fatores associados e análise de caminhos. O objetivo do artigo 1 (n=403) foi reconhecer os caminhos que influenciam a ocorrência de provável bruxismo do sono (PBS) e provável bruxismo em vigília (PBV) em adolescentes. O artigo 2 (n=342) objetivou avaliar a associação entre PBV e hábitos de morder, satisfação de vida, caracteristicas do sono e perfil cronotipo em adolescentes, por meio de um estudo caso-controle. Com aprovação do comitê de ética institucional, participaram do estudo adolescentes de 12 a 19 anos de idade, regularmente matriculados em escolas públicas e privadas de Belo Horizonte. Os pais/cuidadores responderam a um questionário sobre características do sono de seus filhos. Os adolescentes responderam aos seguintes instrumentos: questionário sobre hábitos de morder, características do sono e relato de bruxismo; a escala "The Circadian Energy Scale" (CIRENS), para mensurar o perfil cronotipo; e o dominio self da versão brasileira da Escala Multidimensional de Satisfação de Vida para Adolescentes (EMSVA). O PBS e PBV foram mensurados considerando o auto relato positivo, somado à presença de desgaste dentário por atrição aferido em exame clinico feito pela pesquisadora previamente calibrada. A análise descritiva foi incluida nos artigos 1 e 2. O artigo 1 usou a análise de caminhos, tecnica que descreve as dependências direcionadas entre um conjunto de variáveis. No artigo 2 foi feita regressão logistica condicional (OR) (p<0,05). Como resultados no artigo 1, verificou-se que 22,3% dos adolescentes apresentaram PBS e 51,1% PBV. As duas manifestações de bruxismo apresentaram associação entre si, com uma correlação moderada e positiva (ß= 0,390). Qualidade do sono e renda familiar tiveram um efeito direto sobre PBS (ß= - 0,138; ß=0,123; respectivamente) e em PBV (ß= - 0,155; ß=0,116; respectivamente), de modo que aqueles com maior renda e com má qualidade do sono tenderam a apresentar provável bruxismo tanto BS, quanto BV. Cronotipo teve efeito direto sobre o PBS, de modo que adolescentes com cronotipo matutino tenderam a ter o comportamento (ß= -0,102). Adolescentes que relataram babar no travesseiro enquanto dormiam (ß= 0,184) e/ou que tinham sono agitado (ß= 0,104) tenderam a apresentar PBS. Já no artgido 2 verificou-se que má qualidade do sono (OR=1,731, IC95% 1,054-2,842, p=0,030), hábito de morder objetos muitas vezes (OR=3,303, IC95% 1,631-6,690, p=0,001), hábito de morder ou apertar os lábios algumas vezes (OR=2,134, IC95% 1,230-3,702, p=0,007) e hábito de morder ou apertar os lábios muitas vezes nas duas semanas anteriores à avaliação (OR=2,355, IC95% 1,203- 4,608, p=0,012) foram associados à ocorrencia de PBV. Concluiu-se com o artigo 1 que o perfil cronotipo, renda familiar e caracteristicas do sono influenciaram no caminho percorrido pelo PBS, enquanto renda e qualidade do sono influenciam o PBV. Enquato atraves do artigo 2, concluiu- se que adolescentes com má qualidade do sono e que apresentam habitos de morder tiveram mais chance de apresentar PBV.
Bruxism is a behavior, with masticatory muscle activity, which can present itself as sleep bruxism (SB) and awake bruxism (AB). It has a multifactorial etiology, and is little explored among adolescents. This thesis is composed of two articles assessing prevalence, associated factors, and path analysis. The objective of article 1 (n=403) was to recognize the pathways influencing the occurrence of probable sleep bruxism (PSB) and probable awake bruxism (PAB) in adolescents. Paper 2 (n=342) aimed to evaluate the association between PSB and biting habits, life satisfaction, sleep characteristics and chronotype profile in adolescents by means of a case-control study. After approval by the institutional ethics committee, adolescents aged 12 to 19 years, regularly enrolled in public and private schools in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, participated in the study. Parents/caregivers answered a questionnaire about their children's sleep characteristics. The adolescents answered the following instruments: a questionnaire about biting habits, sleep characteristics and bruxism report; the Circadian Energy Scale (CIRENS), to measure the chronotype profile; and the self domain of the Brazilian version of the Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale for Adolescents (MLSSA). The PSB and PAB were measured considering the positive self-report, added to the presence of attrition dental wear measured in a clinical examination performed by a previously calibrated researcher. Descriptive analysis was included in articles 1 and 2. Article 1 used path analysis, a technique that describes the directed dependencies among a set of variables. In article 2, conditional logistic regression (OR) was performed (p<0.05). As results in article 1, it was found that 22.3% of the adolescents presented PSB and 51.1% PAB. The two manifestations of bruxism showed an association with each other, with a moderate and positive correlation (ß= 0.390). Sleep quality and family income had a direct effect on PSB (ß= - 0.138; ß=0.123; respectively) and on PAB (ß= -0.155; ß=0.116; respectively), so that those with higher income and poor sleep quality tended to show likely bruxism in both SB and AB. Chronotype had a direct effect on PSB, such that adolescents with morning chronotype tended to have the behavior (ß= -0.102). Adolescents who reported drooling on the pillow while sleeping (ß= 0.184) and/or who had restless sleep (ß= 0.104) tended to present PSB. In artgid 2, on the other hand, it was found that poor sleep quality (OR=1.731, 95%CI 1.054-2.842, p=0.030), habit of biting objects often (OR=3.303, 95%CI 1.631-6.690, p=0.001), habit of biting or tightening lips sometimes (OR=2, 134, 95%CI 1.230-3.702, p=0.007) and biting or lip-squeezing often in the two weeks prior to evaluation (OR=2.355, 95%CI 1.203- 4.608, p=0.012) were associated with the occurrence of PAB. It was concluded with article 1 that the chronotype profile, family income and sleep characteristics influence the path taken by PSB, while income and quality of sleep influence PAB. In article 2, it was concluded that adolescents with poor sleep quality and those with biting habits were more likely to present PAB.

La evidencia científica presente en la literatura indica que el cannabis puede ser utilizado con fines terapéuticos para tratar distintas afecciones odontológicas. Dado el acceso sencillo a la cavidad bucal, las distintas formulaciones de cannabis pueden aplicarse de forma tópica. La aplicación local de dosis bajas de cannabis ha demostrado alta efectividad para tratar distintas afecciones bucales, constituyendo un tratamiento seguro con baja probabilidad de generar repercusiones sistémicas indeseadas. En la actualidad, está siendo incorporado a materiales convencionales de uso e higiene odontológica con la finalidad de aprovechar sus efectos terapéuticos. El cannabis tiene múltiples usos en odontología: como componen-te de enjuagues bucales y soluciones para la desinfección de conductos radiculares, en tratamientos de trastornos de ansiedad bucal, como complemento en terapias oncológicas, como analgésico para atenuar el dolor inflamatorio y el neuropático, como miorrelajante y condroprotector para tratar trastornos de articulación témporomandibular (ATM) y bruxismo, como osteomodulador para el tratamiento de patologías que comprometen la integridad ósea, como la enfermedad periodontal y la osteoporosis, y para la cicatrización ósea asociada a fracturas, extracciones dentarias e implantes, y como inmunomodulador con potencial terapéutico para tratar patologías autoinmunes como las enfermedades reumáticas. El trata-miento local con cannabis es efectivo, bien tolerado por el paciente y con pocos efectos adversos. Por lo tanto, se puede concluir que el cannabis aporta un enorme abanico de posibilidades terapéuticas para tratar distintas afecciones odontológicas, aunque aún se requiere mayor cantidad de estudios científicos que avalen su utilización en cada situación fisiopatológica particular (AU)
The scientific evidence present in the literature indicates that cannabis can be used for therapeutic purposes to treat different dental conditions. Given the easy access to the oral cavity, the different cannabis formulations can be applied topically. The local application of low doses of cannabis has shown high effectiveness in treating different oral conditions, constituting a safe treatment with a low probability of generating unwanted systemic repercussions. It is currently being incorporated into conventional materials for dental use and hygiene in order to take advantage of its therapeutic effects. Cannabis has multiple uses in dentistry: as a component of mouthwashes and solutions for disinfecting root canals, in the treatment of oral anxiety disorders, as a complement in oncological therapies, as an analgesic to reduce inflammatory and neuropathic pain, as a muscle relaxant and chondroprotective to treat temporomandibular joint disorders and bruxism, as an osteomodulator for the treatment of pathologies that compromise bone integrity, such as periodontal disease and osteoporosis, and or bone healing associated with fractures, dental extractions and implants, and as immunomodulator with therapeutic potential to treat autoimmune pathologies such as rheumatic diseases. Local treatment with cannabis is effective, well tolerated by the patient and with few adverse effects. Local treatment with cannabis is effective, well tolerated by the patient and with few adverse effects. Therefore, it can be concluded that cannabis provides an enormous range of therapeutic possibilities to treat different dental conditions, although more scientific studies are still required to support its use in each particular pathophysiological situation (AU)
