A disorder characterized by grinding and clenching of the teeth.
A sleep disorder characterized by grinding and clenching of the teeth and forceful lateral or protrusive jaw movements. Sleep bruxism may be associated with TOOTH INJURIES; TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS; sleep disturbances; and other conditions.
Loss of the tooth substance by chemical or mechanical processes
An occlusion resulting in overstrain and injury to teeth, periodontal tissue, or other oral structures.
The wearing away of a tooth as a result of tooth-to-tooth contact, as in mastication, occurring only on the occlusal, incisal, and proximal surfaces. It is chiefly associated with aging. It is differentiated from TOOTH ABRASION (the pathologic wearing away of the tooth substance by friction, as brushing, bruxism, clenching, and other mechanical causes) and from TOOTH EROSION (the loss of substance caused by chemical action without bacterial action). (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p86)
A symptom complex consisting of pain, muscle tenderness, clicking in the joint, and limitation or alteration of mandibular movement. The symptoms are subjective and manifested primarily in the masticatory muscles rather than the temporomandibular joint itself. Etiologic factors are uncertain but include occlusal dysharmony and psychophysiologic factors.
A masticatory muscle whose action is closing the jaws.
Acquired or learned responses which are regularly manifested.
Muscles arising in the zygomatic arch that close the jaw. Their nerve supply is masseteric from the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
The mouth, teeth, jaws, pharynx, and related structures as they relate to mastication, deglutition, and speech.
The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p556, p472)
An artificial replacement for one or more natural teeth or part of a tooth, or associated structures, ranging from a portion of a tooth to a complete denture. The dental prosthesis is used for cosmetic or functional reasons, or both. DENTURES and specific types of dentures are also available. (From Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed, p244 & Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p643)
Common form of habitual body manipulation which is an expression of tension.
Rigid or flexible appliances that overlay the occlusal surfaces of the teeth. They are used to treat clenching and bruxism and their sequelae, and to provide temporary relief from muscle or temporomandibular joint pain.
A variety of conditions affecting the anatomic and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. Factors contributing to the complexity of temporomandibular diseases are its relation to dentition and mastication and the symptomatic effects in other areas which account for referred pain to the joint and the difficulties in applying traditional diagnostic procedures to temporomandibular joint pathology where tissue is rarely obtained and x-rays are often inadequate or nonspecific. Common diseases are developmental abnormalities, trauma, subluxation, luxation, arthritis, and neoplasia. (From Thoma's Oral Pathology, 6th ed, pp577-600)
A histamine H1 receptor antagonist that is effective in the treatment of chronic urticaria, dermatitis, and histamine-mediated pruritus. Unlike its major metabolite CETIRIZINE, it does cause drowsiness. It is also effective as an antiemetic, for relief of anxiety and tension, and as a sedative.
The pathologic wearing away of the tooth substance by brushing, bruxism, clenching, and other mechanical causes. It is differentiated from TOOTH ATTRITION in that this type of wearing away is the result of tooth-to-tooth contact, as in mastication, occurring only on the occlusal, incisal, and proximal surfaces. It differs also from TOOTH EROSION, the progressive loss of the hard substance of a tooth by chemical processes not involving bacterial action. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p2)
Perception of shape and form of objects by TOUCH, via tactile stimuli.
Pain in the facial region including orofacial pain and craniofacial pain. Associated conditions include local inflammatory and neoplastic disorders and neuralgic syndromes involving the trigeminal, facial, and glossopharyngeal nerves. Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent facial pain as the primary manifestation of disease are referred to as FACIAL PAIN SYNDROMES.
Abnormal breathing through the mouth, usually associated with obstructive disorders of the nasal passages.
The act and process of chewing and grinding food in the mouth.
The teeth of the first dentition, which are shed and replaced by the permanent teeth.
An articulation between the condyle of the mandible and the articular tubercle of the temporal bone.

Temporomandibular disorders and the need for stomatognathic treatment in orthodontically treated and untreated girls. (1/55)

The aim of this investigation was to study symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and headaches longitudinally in girls with Class II malocclusions receiving orthodontic treatment in comparison with subjects with untreated Class II malocclusions and girls with normal occlusion, and to evaluate the need and demand for stomatognathic treatment. The frequency and location of subjective symptoms of TMD and headaches were registered by means of an interview and a questionnaire in three groups of age-matched adolescent girls. Sixty-five Class II subjects received orthodontic fixed straight-wire appliance treatment (Orthodontic group), 58 with Class I malocclusion were orthodontically untreated (Class II group) and 60 had a normal occlusion (Normal group). Individual fluctuations of reported symptoms of TMD were found in all three groups over the 2-year period of the study. Subjects with untreated Class II malocclusions rated their overall symptoms of TMD as more severe than the Orthodontic and the Normal groups. In the Orthodontic group, the prevalence of symptoms of TMD decreased over the 2 years. The overall prevalence of symptoms of TMD was, however, lower in the Normal group than in the other two groups. The need for stomatognathic treatment in the whole sample was estimated to be 13 per cent, while the actual demand was 3 per cent. The large fluctuation of symptoms of TMD over time leads us to suggest a conservative treatment approach when stomatognathic treatment in children and adolescents is considered. The results show that orthodontic treatment did not increase the risk of TMD.  (+info)

Temporomandibular dysfunction in patients treated with orthodontics in combination with orthognathic surgery. (2/55)

Fifty-two patients with malocclusions underwent orthodontic treatment in combination with orthognathic surgery involving a Le Fort I and/or sagittal split osteotomy. Approximately 5 years after surgery, the patients were examined for signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The frequencies were found to be low in comparison with epidemiological studies in this field. The aesthetic outcome and chewing ability were improved in most patients (about 80 per cent). Some of the patients had reported recurrent and daily headaches before treatment. At examination, only two patients had reported having a headache once or twice a week, while all the others suffered from headaches less often or had no headache at all. Eighty-three per cent of the patients reported that they would be prepared to undergo the orthodontic/surgical treatment again with their present knowledge of the procedure. This study shows that orthodontic/surgical treatment of malocclusions not only has a beneficial effect on the aesthetic appearance and chewing ability, but also results in an improvement in signs and symptoms of TMD, including headaches.  (+info)

A case of anterior open bite developing during adolescence. (3/55)

Imaging studies have reported on the relationship between temporomandibular joint (TMJ) degeneration and facial deformity. These studies have suggested that mandibular growth is affected by TMJ degeneration, resulting in altered skeletal structure as mandibular retrusion. However, there are very few longitudinal case reports on TMJ osteoarthrosis (OA). Progressive open bite occurred in an adolescent patient with TMJ OA. Cephalometric analysis showed a downward and backward rotated mandible, and a labial inclination of the upper incisor. Magnetic resonance imaging showed internal derangement without reduction and erosion in the right and the left condyles. Although the cause of open bite is unclear in this case, tongue thrusting, and internal derangements in the temporomandibular joint were suspected as causes of the open bite.  (+info)

Variability in sleep bruxism activity over time. (4/55)

Sleep bruxism (SB) is an oral activity associated with jaw movements and tooth grinding. Sleep bruxism is believed to be highly variable over time, with subjects showing no activity on some nights and intense activity on others. Assessment of SB variability in individual patients is necessary for clinical trials designed to estimate the efficacy of SB management strategies. The present study analysed SB night-to-night variability over time in nine moderate to severe SB patients. Excluding the first night for habituation, a total of 37 nights were analysed, with a range of 2-8 nights per subject. The interval between the first and the last recording was between 2 months and 7.5 years. The outcomes were the number of SB episodes per hour, number of SB bursts per hour and number of SB episodes with grinding noise. The within subject variability of the three SB oromotor outcomes was evaluated using standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation. To verify the diagnosis of subjects over time, the values of the oromotor outcomes were compared with a standard research diagnostic cut-off: (1) Number of SB episodes per hour >4, (2) Number of SB bursts per hour >25, (3) Number of SB episodes with noise per night >1 (Lavigne et al. 1996). The mean coefficient of variation for the nine subjects was 25.3% for SB episodes per hour, 30.4% for SB bursts per hour and 53.5% for episodes with noise. Linear regression showed that the number of SB episodes per hour of stages 1 and 2 explains a large proportion of the variability. The SB diagnosis remained constant over time for every subject: 35 nights over 37 respected criteria 1 and 2, while grinding was present every night. These results indicate that while the SB diagnostic remains relatively constant over time in moderate to severe sleep bruxers, individual variability could be important in some SB patients.  (+info)

Emotional stress and brux-like activity of the masseter muscle in rats. (5/55)

The aim of this study was to further clarify the relationship between emotional stress and bruxism. In experiment 1, 60 male 9-week-old Wistar rats were divided into four groups: the emotionally stressed (ES), the emotionally non-stressed (NS), the electrically foot-shocked (FSd), and the non-foot-shocked (NSd). ES rats were confined in a communication box for one hour a day to observe the emotional responses of neighbouring FSd rats. On days 0, 1, 4, 8, and 12, the electromyographic activity of the ES and NS rats' left masseter muscles was recorded for one hour, three hours after confinement in the communication box. Brux-like activity appeared in the masseter muscle of the ES group on days 1, 4, 8, and 12, but not in the NS group. In experiment 2, 36 male Wistar rats, 9 weeks old, were divided into three groups: emotionally stressed rats treated with an anti-anxiety drug (DES), emotionally stressed rats treated with saline as a vehicle (VES), and 24 FSd rats. Stress and EMG procedures were the same as those in experiment 1. Brux-like episodes decreased in DES rats from day 1 and significant differences were found on days 4 (P < 0.01), 8 (P < 0.05), and 12 (P < 0.05), when compared with the VES group. These findings suggest that emotional stress induces brux-like activity in the masseter muscle of rats, which was reduced with anti-anxiety drugs.  (+info)

The cracked tooth syndrome. (6/55)

The purpose of this article is to review the clinical features, diagnosis and management of the cracked tooth syndrome (CTS). The condition refers to an incomplete fracture of a vital posterior tooth that occasionally extends into the pulp. A lack of awareness of the condition coupled with its varied clinical features can make diagnosis of CTS difficult. Common symptoms include an uncomfortable sensation or pain from a tooth that occurs while chewing hard foods and which ceases when the pressure is withdrawn. The patient is often unable to identify the offending tooth or quadrant involved, and may report a history of numerous dental procedures with unsatisfactory results. Successful diagnosis and management requires an awareness of the existence of CTS and the appropriate diagnostic tests. Management options depend on the nature of the symptoms and extent of the lesion. These options include routine monitoring, occlusal adjustments, placement of a cast restoration and endodontic treatment. A decision flowchart indicating the treatment options available to the dental practitioner is presented.  (+info)

Oral habits of temporomandibular disorder patients with malocclusion. (7/55)

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between oral habits and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder in patients who had sought orthodontic treatment by analyzing their present and past history. The subjects were 57 female patients (average age: 23 years and 6 months old) who had visited the "Temporomandibular Disorder Section" in our orthodontic department. Their chief complaints were the symptom of TMJ and the abnormalities of occlusion such as maxillary protrusion, open bite, crowding, mandibular protrusion, cross bite, deep bite, edge-to-edge bite, and spacing. Their present conditions and past histories were examined and evaluated. The most typical primary symptom was joint sound (23 patients, 40.0%). The second was joint sound and pain (15 patients, 26.3%). Of the symptoms present at the time of examination, the most prevalent were joint sound and pain (20 patients, 35.1%). The 48 patients (82.8%) had significant oral habits. Unilateral chewing was seen in 35 patients (72.9%), bruxism in 27 (56.3%), abnormality of posture in 14 (29.2%), habitual crunching in 10 (20.8%) and resting the check on the hand in 4 (8.3%), respectively. When comparing the primary symptoms to those at the time of examination, the patients with unilateral chewing and bruxism tended to have more complicated symptoms. In conclusion, the TMD symptoms of the patients with notable oral habits did not change or become worse during a period of about 5 years.  (+info)

Signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders in adolescents. (8/55)

The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in adolescents and its relationship to gender. The sample comprised 217 subjects, aged 12 to 18. The subjective symptoms and clinical signs of TMD were evaluated, using, respectively, a self-report questionnaire and the Craniomandibular Index, which has 2 subscales; the Dysfunction Index and the Palpation Index. The results of muscle tenderness showed great variability (0.9-32.25%). In relation to the temporomandibular joint, tenderness of the superior, dorsal and lateral condyle regions occurred in 10.6%, 10.6% and 7.83%, respectively, of the sample. Joint sound during opening was present in 19.8% of the sample and during closing in 14.7%. The most prevalent symptoms were joint sounds (26.72%) and headache (21.65%). There was no statistical difference between genders (p > 0.05), except for the tenderness of the lateral pterygoid muscles, which presented more prevalence in girls. In conclusion, clinical signs and symptoms of TMD can occur in adolescents; however, gender influence was not perceived.  (+info)

Bruxism is a medical condition characterized by the involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth. It is also known as teeth grinding or teeth clenching. Bruxism can occur during the day or at night, and it can be a sign of stress, anxiety, or other underlying medical conditions. The repetitive movement of the jaw and teeth can cause damage to the teeth, gums, and jaw joints, leading to pain, headaches, and other symptoms. Treatment for bruxism may include stress management techniques, mouthguards, or other therapies, depending on the severity of the condition.

Sleep bruxism is a sleep disorder characterized by repetitive grinding or clenching of the teeth during sleep. It is also known as nocturnal bruxism or sleep bruxism disorder. Sleep bruxism can occur during any stage of sleep, but it is most commonly seen during deep sleep (stage 3 and 4 of non-rapid eye movement sleep). The exact cause of sleep bruxism is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to stress, anxiety, and other psychological factors. It can also be associated with certain medical conditions, such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), sleep apnea, and neurological disorders. Sleep bruxism can cause damage to the teeth and jaw, leading to tooth wear, cracked or broken teeth, and jaw pain. It can also cause headaches and earaches. Treatment for sleep bruxism may include stress management techniques, relaxation exercises, and the use of a mouthguard to protect the teeth and jaw. In some cases, medication or therapy may be recommended.

Tooth wear is a common dental condition that refers to the gradual loss of tooth structure due to various factors. It can occur on the surface of the tooth or extend deeper into the tooth structure, affecting the shape, size, and function of the tooth. There are several types of tooth wear, including: 1. Attrition: This is the most common type of tooth wear, which occurs when the tooth surfaces rub against each other, causing the enamel and dentin to wear down. 2. Abrasion: This type of tooth wear occurs when the tooth surface is worn down by external factors such as brushing too hard, grinding teeth, or consuming acidic foods and drinks. 3. Erosion: This type of tooth wear occurs when the tooth surface is worn down by chemical factors such as acid reflux, stomach acid, or frequent exposure to acidic foods and drinks. Tooth wear can cause a variety of dental problems, including sensitivity, pain, difficulty chewing, and even tooth loss. Treatment options for tooth wear depend on the severity of the condition and may include dental bonding, dental crowns, or dental veneers. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene and visit a dentist regularly to prevent and manage tooth wear.

Dental occlusion, traumatic refers to a type of dental injury that occurs when the teeth come into contact with each other in an abnormal or excessive manner, causing damage to the teeth, gums, or jawbone. This type of injury can be caused by a variety of factors, including accidents, sports injuries, or physical altercations. Symptoms of traumatic dental occlusion may include pain, swelling, difficulty chewing or speaking, and changes in the alignment of the teeth. Treatment for traumatic dental occlusion may involve restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns, or bridges, as well as orthodontic treatment to realign the teeth. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damage to the jawbone.

Tooth attrition is the gradual wearing down of the tooth enamel and dentin caused by normal tooth-to-tooth contact during chewing, grinding, or clenching. It is a natural process that occurs throughout a person's life, and it can be accelerated by factors such as bruxism (teeth grinding), acid erosion, and aging. Tooth attrition can lead to a variety of dental problems, including sensitivity, cracking, and even tooth loss. It can also affect the shape and size of the teeth, which can impact the way they fit together and affect the function of the jaw. In some cases, tooth attrition may require dental treatment, such as tooth crowns, fillings, or root canal therapy. Preventive measures, such as wearing a mouthguard during sports or sleep, can also help to reduce the risk of tooth attrition.

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome (TMJDS) is a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is the joint that connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull. The TMJ is responsible for the movement of the jaw, including opening and closing the mouth, chewing, and talking. TMJDS is a broad term that encompasses a range of symptoms and conditions that affect the TMJ. These can include pain or tenderness in the jaw, difficulty opening or closing the mouth, clicking or popping sounds when the jaw moves, and headaches or ear pain. TMJDS can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury or trauma to the jaw or TMJ, teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), arthritis, and stress or muscle tension. Treatment for TMJDS may include medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMDs) are a group of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is the joint that connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull. TMDs can cause pain, stiffness, and limited movement in the jaw, as well as other symptoms such as headaches, earaches, and neck pain. TMDs can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, arthritis, teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), and stress. They can also be related to other medical conditions, such as fibromyalgia or temporomandibular joint ankylosis. Treatment for TMDs depends on the underlying cause and the severity of symptoms. It may include medications, physical therapy, bite guards or splints, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or a dentist, if you are experiencing symptoms of TMDs.

Hydroxyzine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called antihistamines. It is primarily used to treat symptoms of allergies, such as itching, runny nose, and sneezing. Hydroxyzine can also be used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and to relieve the itching associated with certain skin conditions, such as eczema and hives. Hydroxyzine works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical that is released by the body in response to an allergic reaction or other stimuli that cause itching or inflammation. By blocking histamine, hydroxyzine can help to reduce symptoms such as itching, runny nose, and sneezing. Hydroxyzine is available in both oral and injectable forms, and it is usually taken once or twice a day. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the condition being treated and the individual patient's response to the medication. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to report any side effects or concerns to them.

Tooth abrasion is a dental condition that occurs when the outer layer of the tooth, called the enamel, is worn down or abraded. This can happen due to various factors, including brushing too hard, using a toothbrush with hard bristles, grinding or clenching teeth, consuming acidic foods and drinks, and chewing on hard objects such as ice or pencils. Tooth abrasion can cause a number of symptoms, including tooth sensitivity, pain when chewing, and a rough or uneven tooth surface. In severe cases, it can lead to tooth decay, gum recession, and even tooth loss. Treatment for tooth abrasion typically involves addressing the underlying cause, such as changing brushing habits or using a softer toothbrush. In some cases, a dentist may also use a fluoride treatment or a dental filling to help protect the tooth and prevent further damage.

Facial pain is a medical condition characterized by discomfort or pain in the face, head, or neck. It can be acute or chronic and can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, infection, inflammation, or nerve damage. There are several types of facial pain, including: 1. Migraine: A type of headache that is often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. 2. Trigeminal neuralgia: A condition that causes intense, stabbing pain in the face, often triggered by simple activities such as chewing or talking. 3. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD): A condition that affects the joint that connects the jaw to the skull, causing pain, stiffness, and difficulty chewing. 4. Cluster headache: A type of headache that occurs in clusters, typically lasting several weeks or months, and is accompanied by symptoms such as redness and watering of the eye. 5. Atypical facial pain: A condition characterized by chronic, non-throbbing pain in the face that is not caused by a specific underlying condition. Treatment for facial pain depends on the underlying cause and can include medications, physical therapy, nerve blocks, and surgery. It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing facial pain, as it can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition.

Mouth breathing is a condition in which a person breathes primarily through their mouth, rather than through their nose. This can occur due to a variety of factors, including nasal congestion, allergies, a deviated septum, or structural abnormalities in the nose or mouth. In the medical field, mouth breathing can be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as sleep apnea or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It can also be a symptom of a more serious condition, such as a tumor or foreign object in the nasal passages. Mouth breathing can have a number of negative effects on a person's health, including dry mouth, tooth decay, and snoring. It can also lead to a variety of respiratory problems, such as asthma and bronchitis. Treatment for mouth breathing depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, it may be as simple as using nasal decongestants or saline sprays to relieve nasal congestion. In other cases, more invasive treatments may be necessary, such as surgery to correct structural abnormalities in the nose or mouth.
