Bruxism defined and graded: an international consensus

TLDR
The expert group defined bruxism as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible and proposed a diagnostic grading system of 'possible', 'probable' and 'definite' sleep or awake bruXism.
Abstract
To date, there is no consensus about the definition and diagnostic grading of bruxism. A written consensus discussion was held among an international group of bruxism experts as to formulate a definition of bruxism and to suggest a grading system for its operationalisation. The expert group defined bruxism as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible. Bruxism has two distinct circadian manifestations: it can occur during sleep (indicated as sleep bruxism) or during wakefulness (indicated as awake bruxism). For the operationalisation of this definition, the expert group proposes a diagnostic grading system of 'possible', 'probable' and 'definite' sleep or awake bruxism. The proposed definition and grading system are suggested for clinical and research purposes in all relevant dental and medical domains.

Diagnostic validity of the use of a portable single-channel electromyography device for sleep bruxism

TL;DR: GrindCare is able to discriminate SB diagnosed by PSG and gold standard criteria, when used for three or five consecutive nights, and it may be a valid choice in clinical practice for SB assessment.

Analysis of risk factors for cluster behavior of dental implant failures.

TL;DR: A cluster pattern among patients with implant failure is highly probable, and factors of interest as predictors for implant failures could be a number of systemic and local factors, although a direct causal relationship cannot be ascertained.

TL;DR: The results support the heritability of SB-tooth grinding and that sleep quality and pain are concomitant in a significant number of SB subjects.

Is there a first night effect on sleep bruxism? A sleep laboratory study.

TL;DR: The results showed no overall first night effect on severity of RMMA frequency in young and healthy patients with SB, suggesting one-night sleep recording may be sufficient for moderate-high frequency SB patients.

Onabotulinum toxin-A injections for sleep bruxism: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study

TL;DR: BoNT-A effectively and safely improved sleep bruxism in this placebo-controlled pilot trial and provides Class II evidence that botulinum injections into the masseter and temporalis muscles improve subjective Bruxism and painful symptoms associated with sleep bruXism.

Neuropathic pain Redefinition and a grading system for clinical and research purposes

TL;DR: A grading system of definite, probable, and possible neuropathic pain is proposed, which includes the grade possible, which can only be regarded as a working hypothesis, and the grades probable and definite, which require confirmatory evidence from a neurologic examination.
