• People with chronic facial pain perform worse than controls at a facial emotion recognition task, but it is not all about the emotion

  22 décembre 2014, par H. Piekartz, S. B. Wallwork, G. Mohr, D. S. Butler, G. L. Moseley
  Alexithymia, or a lack of emotional awareness, is prevalent in some chronic pain conditions and has been linked to poor recognition of others' emotions. Recognising others' emotions from their facial expression involves both emotional and motor processing, but the possible contribution of motor (...)

• Cyclic mechanical pressure-loading alters epithelial homeostasis in a three-dimensional in vitro oral mucosa model : clinical implications for denture-wearers

  22 décembre 2014, par A. Shiomi, K. Izumi, A. Uenoyama, T. Saito, N. Saito, H. Ohnuki, H. Kato, M. Kanatani, S. Nomura, H. Egusa, T. Maeda
  Denture-wearing affects the quality and quantity of epithelial cells in the underlying healthy oral mucosa. The physiologic mechanisms, however, are poorly understood. This study aimed to compare histologic changes and cellular responses of an epithelial cell layer to cyclic mechanical (...)

• Oro-facial evaluation of women with rheumatoid arthritis

  22 décembre 2014, par C. P. S. Hoyuela, R. N. V. Furtado, A. Chiari, J. Natour
  Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an aggressive articular autoimmune disease that causes deformities and disability. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) might be affected by this disease. Few controlled studies have evaluated bite force (BF) and oro-facial manifestations of this disease. To (...)

• Do sleep hygiene measures and progressive muscle relaxation influence sleep bruxism ? Report of a randomised controlled trial

  22 décembre 2014, par M. Valiente López, M. K. A. Selms, J. Zaag, H. L. Hamburger, F. Lobbezoo
  The aim of this study was to assess the effects of sleep hygiene measures combined with relaxation techniques in the management of sleep bruxism (SB) in a double-blind, parallel, controlled, randomised clinical trial design. Sixteen participants (mean ± s.d. age = 39·9 ± 10·8 years) were randomly (...)

• The effect of intermittent use of occlusal splint devices on sleep bruxism : a 4-week observation with a portable electromyographic recording device

  22 décembre 2014, par H. Matsumoto, Y. Tsukiyama, R. Kuwatsuru, K. Koyano
  This randomised controlled study investigated the effect of intermittent use of occlusal splints on sleep bruxism compared with that of continuous use by measuring masseter muscle electromyographic activity using a portable electromyographic recording system. Twenty bruxers were randomly (...)
