Summary: The recent use of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) smartphone-based strategies has allowed researchers to gather interesting data on the frequency of awake bruxism (AB) behaviors in natural environments. This systematic review identified 8 English-language studies that assessed AB behaviors using smartphone-based EMA. The results showed that AB behaviors ranged from 28.3% to 40% over one week using the same smartphone app, while a different EMA approach via WhatsApp reported an AB frequency of 58.6%. Despite methodological limitations, these studies provide a groundwork for future research on the epidemiology of awake bruxism behaviors.

Summary: Bone and periodontal tissue are capable of repairing from harm, but replacing or regrowing missing tissues is not always effective, especially as the defect grows larger. With the increase in aging and debilitating disorders, there is a greater demand for orthopedic and periodontal surgical operations. Autogenous bone grafts remain the best solution, but alternative options such as topical administration methods show promise in reducing the need for autogenous bone transplantation.

Summary: Periodontal tissues consist of cementum, periodontal ligaments, and alveolar bone, which are essential for supporting physiological activities like chewing, swallowing, and pronunciation. When pathologies affect these tissues, such as periodontitis or congenital abnormalities, alveolar bone defects may occur, leading to challenges in clinical treatment. Matrix vesicles (MVs), a subtype of extracellular vesicles, play a crucial role in promoting biomineralization and periodontal development, and may offer promising solutions for treating alveolar bone defects.

Summary: Maintaining good oral health is crucial for accomplishing daily tasks in older age. A systematic review of 68 studies found that oral health deterioration, decline in oral motor skills, chewing, swallowing, and saliva disorders, and oral pain were associated with adverse health-related outcomes including mortality, physical frailty, functional disability, quality of life, hospitalization, and falls. The findings highlight the importance of assessing and preventing these oral health indicators for older adults.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of different oral behaviors in a convenience sample of patients attending an Italian university clinic for routine dental cares. The results showed that a low-risk grade of oral behaviors was frequent in the sample, with females exhibiting a higher frequency of high-risk grade than males. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings in larger, representative populations and to evaluate if these habits are linked to negative effects on the stomatognathic system.

Summary: This study aimed to assess self-reported awake bruxism (AB) frequency in patients with myofascial pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and compare it to pain-free individuals. The results showed that TMD patients had a higher AB frequency of 62.1% ± 26.8% compared to pain-free subjects with 36.2% ± 27.3% (p < 0.001). Jaw bracing was most common in the TMD group (p < 0.001), while teeth contact, clenching, and grinding did not differ between groups. Additionally, there were no differences in AB frequency between myofascial pain and TMJ pain patients.

Summary: The term 'centric relation' (CR) has been extensively debated in dentistry, with discussions on its biological, diagnostic, and therapeutic usefulness. However, there is a lack of literature supporting its diagnostic or therapeutic use in identifying temporomandibular disorders or managing patients with prosthodontic or orthodontic needs. Nevertheless, CR can still be pragmatically useful in prosthodontics as a maxillo-mandibular reference position.
