BRUXISM

This study tested two treatments for jaw pain caused by teeth grinding (bruxism): dry needling (tiny needles into tight muscles) and a stabilization splint (a custom mouth guard). Forty adults with jaw pain were followed for 6 months. Researchers measured pain, how wide they coul…

This study tested whether custom mouthguards (splints) designed using a 3D jaw-tracking device called MODJAW work better than standard ones for people with teeth grinding or jaw pain. Forty adults with mild-to-moderate bruxism used either a personalized or standard splint for 8 w…

This study looked at whether a deep cleaning of the gums (called subgingival instrumentation) can help with jaw symptoms like pain, tension, and stiffness in people who grind their teeth and also have gum disease. Sixty adults between 30 and 40 years old took part. The main goal …

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

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

This study tested three treatments for chronic teeth grinding (bruxism): dry needling and two types of botulinum toxin (Botox). 72 adults with severe jaw pain received one of the treatments. Researchers measured pain levels and muscle thickness at 1 and 3 months to see which work…

This study tested three ways to treat jaw pain and headaches from teeth grinding (bruxism): a custom mouth splint, Botox injections, or both together. Sixty adults were assigned to one of the three groups based on their needs and preferences. After 3 months, the researchers measu…

This study looked at three ways to manage sleep bruxism (teeth grinding) in 48 people with implant-supported dentures: Botox injections, a custom mouth splint, or simply removing the denture at night. Researchers measured muscle activity and denture grip strength over 12 months. …

This study tested Botox injections in 17 adults with bruxism (teeth grinding) to see how the jaw muscle changes. Using ultrasound, researchers measured muscle thickness and pain levels before treatment and at 14 and 90 days after. The goal was to understand both the visible and m…

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 looked at whether people with advanced gum disease (stage III or IV periodontitis) grind their teeth more during sleep. Researchers used a muscle monitor to measure jaw activity in 40 adults, comparing those with gum disease to healthy controls. The goal was to better …

This study looked at whether non-surgical gum treatment can reduce teeth grinding (bruxism) in people with advanced gum disease. Forty adults with severe gum disease or healthy gums took part. Researchers measured grinding episodes before and three months after treatment using a …

This study looked at 48 young adults (half with bruxism, half without) to understand how jaw clenching and grinding relate to posture, muscle stiffness, pain, and jaw function. Researchers measured these factors using special tools and questionnaires. The goal was to gather infor…

This study looked at 89 adults with bruxism (teeth grinding) and healthy volunteers to see if there is a connection between the body's 'automatic' nervous system and the tightness, stiffness, and elasticity of chewing muscles. Participants wore a heart rate monitor and had their …

This study looked at whether people with bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching) have worse lung function, breathing muscle strength, balance, and sleep quality compared to healthy people. Researchers tested 34 adults — some with bruxism and some without — using breathing tests, ba…
