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.

Physical, psychological and socio‐demographic predictors related to patients’ self‐belief of their temporomandibular disorders’ aetiology

TL;DR: It is suggested that individual phenotypes play a role in the patient's belief in the cause of the TMD complaint, and determination of phenotypic risk factors associated with etiological self-belief might help clinicians to provide better treatment, including counselling, to patients.

Minimum measurement time of masseteric electromyogram required for assessment of awake bruxism during the daytime

TL;DR: The results suggest that the tendency of daytime muscle activity in 1 day can be assessed even by using masseteric EMG data obtained during a relatively short measurement time.

Prevalence and potential factors associated with probable sleep or awake bruxism and dentin hypersensitivity in undergraduate students

TL;DR: Individuals with probable bruxism tended to have a higher odds of facial pain when they awakened and when chewing or talking for long periods, and there were no associations between probable sleep and awake Bruxism and cervical dentin hypersensitivity.

Bruxism and Masseter and Temporal Muscle Activity Before and After Selective Grinding

TL;DR: The number of bruxism episodes decreased during the sleep stages 2 and 3 and the selective grinding showed a statistically significant reduction of action potentials recorded by the surface electromyography of temporal muscle.

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.
