Sleep Apnea01:21

Sleep Apnea

737
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops intermittently during sleep, often leading to significant health issues. Each episode can last from 10 to 20 seconds or more and is frequently accompanied by a brief arousal from sleep. This disturbance, largely unnoticed by the individual, can lead to severe daytime fatigue. Commonly, individuals seek help after being informed by their partners about loud snoring and noticeable breathing pauses during sleep.
The condition is more prevalent among...

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder01:15

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

2.4K
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the absence of muscle paralysis that normally occurs during the REM phase of sleep. This absence allows individuals to physically act out their dreams, which are often vivid and disturbing. Common behaviors exhibited during episodes include kicking, punching, and yelling. These actions can be dangerous, potentially leading to injuries for the person with RBD or their bed partner.
RBD is significantly associated with...

Sleepwalking and Sleep Talking01:17

Sleepwalking and Sleep Talking

1.3K
Somnambulism, commonly known as sleepwalking, involves individuals engaging in activities ranging from simple walking to more complex behaviors such as driving. Sleepwalking typically occurs during the slow-wave sleep stages 3 and 4 early in the night when the person is not dreaming, contradicting the myth that sleepwalkers are acting out their dreams.
Factors that increase the likelihood of sleepwalking include sleep deprivation and alcohol consumption. Contrary to common beliefs, it is safe...

Nightmares and Night Terrors01:18

Nightmares and Night Terrors

754
Nightmares and night terrors represent two distinct types of sleep disturbances that differ in timing, characteristics, and the sleeper's recall of the event. Nightmares are vivid, disturbing dreams that usually awaken the sleeper from REM sleep, a stage of sleep where brain activity is high, and dreams are most frequent. Upon awakening, individuals often have detailed recollections of their nightmares, which can include themes of threats to survival, security, or self-esteem.

Sleep-Wake Cycles01:24

Sleep-Wake Cycles

3.2K
Sleep is an essential physiological process vital to maintaining overall well-being. The reticular activating system (RAS), a network of neurons in the brainstem, regulates wakefulness and sleep. While it may seem passive, sleep consists of distinct cycles, each with its unique characteristics and functions. Two key sleep phases are non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and  rapid eye movement (REM).
NREM Sleep
NREM sleep comprises four progressive stages that seamlessly merge:

Insomnia01:27

Insomnia

571
Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, and waking up too early without being able to return to sleep. People with insomnia often experience these disruptions at least three nights a week for at least one month. Chronic insomnia, which lasts for at least three months, can lead to increased anxiety, which in turn can worsen sleep difficulties, creating a cycle of sleeplessness and stress.
Multiple factors contribute...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Rehabilitation
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Bruxism, a parafunctional activity, involves teeth clenching or grinding.
  • Severe tooth wear is a common consequence of sleep bruxism (SB).
  • Managing severe tooth wear presents challenges due to reduced tooth structure and occlusal vertical dimension loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of cosmetic rehabilitation for bruxism.
  • To discuss the implementation of effective strategies for severe tooth wear.
  • To highlight evidence-based approaches for oral rehabilitation in SB patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on bruxism, severe tooth wear, and oral rehabilitation.
  • Analysis of properties of dental materials relevant to SB.
  • Examination of cosmetic management techniques for tooth wear.

Main Results:

  • Limited studies discuss dental material properties for SB rehabilitation.
  • Cosmetic management of severe tooth wear requires careful planning.
  • Evidence-based approaches are crucial for successful oral rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

  • Cosmetic rehabilitation of bruxism-related severe tooth wear is feasible.
  • Selection of appropriate dental materials is key for successful outcomes.
  • A comprehensive, evidence-based approach ensures optimal patient results.
