Sleep bruxism was diagnosed on the basis of I) validated questionnaires, II) clinical symptoms, and III) electromyographic/electrocardiographic data. A total of 110 subjects were included in the study. Fifty-eight patients were identified as bruxers and 52 as nonbruxers. A psychosocial assessment was also performed. An RDC/TMD group-I diagnosis (myofascial pain) was made for 10 out of 58 bruxers, whereas none of the nonbruxers received a diagnosis of this type. No significant differences were found between bruxers and nonbruxers with regard to RDC/TMD group-II (disc displacement) and group-III (arthralgia, arthritis, arthrosis) diagnoses. Somatization was significantly more common among bruxers than nonbruxers. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that somatization was the only factor significantly correlated with the diagnosis of myofascial pain. The results of this study indicate a correlation between myofascial pain, as diagnosed using the RDC/TMD, and somatization. It seems that somatization is a stronger predictor of an RDC/TMD diagnosis of myofascial pain than sleep bruxism is.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmitterBoemickeBehnischetal.2022, author = {Schmitter, Marc and B{\"o}micke, Wolfgang and Behnisch, Rouven and Lorenzo Bermejo, Justo and Waldecker, Moritz and Rammelsberg, Peter and Ohlmann, Brigitte}, title = {Ceramic crowns and sleep bruxism: first results from a randomized trial}, series = {Journal of Clinical Medicine}, volume = {12}, journal = {Journal of Clinical Medicine}, number = {1}, issn = {2077-0383}, doi = {10.3390/jcm12010273}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-301480}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Background: This randomized clinical trial was conducted to assess whether sleep bruxism (SB) is associated with an increased rate of technical complications (ceramic defects) in lithium disilicate (LiDi) or zirconia (Z) molar single crowns (SCs). Methods: Adult patients were classified as affected or unaffected by SB based on structured questionnaires, clinical signs, and overnight portable electromyography (BruxOff) and block randomized into four groups according to SB status and crown material (LiDi or Z): LiDi-SB (n = 29), LiDi-no SB (n = 24), Z-SB (n = 23), and Z-no SB (n = 27). Differences in technical complications (main outcome) and survival and success rates (secondary outcomes) one year after crown cementation were assessed using Fisher's exact test with significance level α = 0.05. Results: No technical complications occurred. Restoration survival rates were 100\% in the LiDi-SB and LiDi-no SB groups, 95.7\% in the Z-SB group, and 96.3\% in the Z-no SB group (p > 0.999). Success rates were 96.6\% in the LiDi-SB group, 95.8\% in the LiDi-no SB group (p > 0.999), 91.3\% in the Z-SB group, and 96.3\% in the Z-no SB group (p ≥ 0.588). Conclusions: With a limited observation time and sample size, no effect of SB on technical complication, survival, and success rates of molar LiDi and Z SCs was detected.}, language = {en} }
