The individual inclination to lead an autonomous life until death is associated with
requirements that may be of physiological, psychosocial and environmental nature. We aim …

Bruxism is a complex orofacial behavior that can occur during sleep or wakefulness,
characterized by the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, involving repetitive activity of …

This study aimed to systematically review the literature to identify clinical studies assessing
neuroplasticity changes induced by or associated with bruxism or a tooth-clenching task …

Background Studies addressing the training‐induced neuroplasticity and interrelationships
of the lip, masseter, and tongue motor representations in the human motor cortex using …

Introduction Bruxism is defined as a repetitive masticatory muscle activity that can manifest it
upon awakening (awake bruxism‐AB) or during sleep (sleep bruxism‐SB). Some forms of …

Objectives Sleep bruxism (SB) is associated with physiological activities including
sympathetic autonomic system dominance and sleep micro-arousal. While oral appliances …

Background Neuroplasticity induced by mandibular advancement appliance (MAD) in
patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is poorly documented. Objective This …

Background Excessive jaw muscle activity is a frequent complication after acquired brain
injury (ABI). Objective The study aimed to identify the occurrence and severity of jaw muscle …

Recently, it has been proposed that bruxism could represent an overlearned behavior due to
the absence of corticomotor plasticity following a relevant tooth-clenching task (TCT). This …

Since humans in daily life perform multiple motor behaviors that often involve the
simultaneous activation of both jaw and tongue muscles, it is essential to understand the …
