BRUXISM

This study tested whether custom mouthguards designed using a jaw-tracking device called MODJAW work better than standard mouthguards for people with teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw joint pain. Forty adults with mild-to-moderate symptoms used either a custom or standard splint fo…

This small study looked at 17 adults with bruxism (teeth grinding) who received Botox injections in their jaw muscle. Researchers used ultrasound to measure muscle thickness and texture before treatment, at 14 days, and at 90 days. They also tracked pain levels. The goal was to s…

This study tested three ways to treat jaw pain and clenching caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) in 60 adults. People got either a custom mouth splint, Botox injections, or both treatments together. After 3 months, the team measured how much symptoms improved using a standard pain…

This study looked at 27 adults who get Botox injections every six months for sleep-related teeth grinding (bruxism). Researchers used ultrasound to see if repeated treatments cause fat to build up in the jaw muscle. The goal was to understand if long-term use is safe or leads to …

This study looked at whether manual therapy (hands-on treatment) or home exercises could reduce pain and improve jaw movement in people with bruxism (teeth grinding). Thirty young adults with bruxism were split into two groups: one did exercises at home for 8 weeks, the other rec…

This study tested three ways to manage sleep bruxism (teeth grinding) in 48 people with implant-supported dentures: Botox injections, custom mouth splints, or simply removing dentures at night. Researchers measured jaw muscle activity and denture retention over 12 months. The goa…

This study tested whether a 4-week diaphragmatic breathing program can reduce teeth grinding and jaw discomfort in adults with sleep bruxism. 100 participants learned breathing exercises and practiced them daily at home. The goal was to see if this safe, drug-free approach could …

This study looked at two treatments for jaw pain caused by teeth grinding (bruxism): dry needling (thin needles into tight muscles) and a custom mouth splint. Forty adults with jaw pain were treated and followed for 6 months. Researchers measured pain, how wide they could open th…

This study looked at 48 young adults (half with bruxism, half without) to understand how teeth grinding and clenching relate to posture, muscle stiffness, pain, and jaw function. Researchers used special tools to measure posture, pain thresholds, and muscle tightness. The goal wa…

This study looked at whether non-surgical gum treatment can reduce teeth grinding (awake and sleep bruxism) in people with advanced gum disease. Forty adults with stage III or IV periodontitis were treated and monitored for three months. The goal was to see if treating the gums a…

This study looked at 89 adults to see if there is a connection between the automatic nervous system (the part that controls things like heart rate) and the tightness, stiffness, and elasticity of jaw muscles in people who grind their teeth (bruxism). Participants included both pe…

This study looked at whether people with advanced gum disease (stage III or IV periodontitis) grind their teeth more intensely or longer during sleep compared to those with healthy gums. Researchers used small sensors on the jaw muscle to measure grinding in 40 adults aged 28 to …

This study looked at how bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching) affects breathing, muscle strength, balance, and sleep quality. Researchers compared 34 adults with bruxism to healthy people to see if there were differences. The goal was to better understand the health impacts of t…
