BRUXISM

This study looked at whether repeated Botox injections used to treat sleep teeth grinding cause fat to build up in the jaw muscle over time. 27 adults with sleep teeth grinding received Botox injections every six months and had ultrasound scans of their jaw muscles before each tr…

This study tested whether treating severe gum disease could reduce teeth grinding and clenching, both while awake and asleep. It involved 40 adults with and without gum disease, measuring their grinding activity before and three months after a standard gum cleaning treatment. The…

This study tested two physical therapy methods to help people with bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching). Thirty young adults were split into two groups: one did a home exercise program, and the other received hands-on manual therapy from a therapist. Researchers measured pain, j…

This study tested three ways to manage sleep bruxism (teeth grinding) in people with implant-supported lower dentures. Forty-eight participants were randomly assigned to receive Botox injections in their jaw muscles, wear a custom mouth splint at night, or simply remove their den…

This study tested if a custom-made mouth splint, designed using a device that tracks a person's unique jaw movements, works better than a standard splint for people who grind their teeth. Forty adults with mild-to-moderate teeth grinding or jaw pain were randomly given either the…

This study tested whether a simple breathing exercise program could help adults who grind their teeth at night. One hundred participants learned diaphragmatic breathing techniques and practiced them daily for four weeks. Researchers measured if this reduced grinding frequency, ja…

This study aimed to understand if people who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) have differences in their breathing function, breathing muscle strength, balance, and sleep quality compared to people without bruxism. Researchers measured these factors in 34 adults with bruxism …

This study aimed to understand if people with severe gum disease (periodontitis) have different patterns of nighttime teeth grinding (sleep bruxism) compared to people with healthy gums. Researchers monitored the jaw muscle activity of 40 adults, half with gum disease and half wi…
