REM Sleep Behavior Disorder01:15

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

2.1K
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...

Nightmares and Night Terrors01:18

Nightmares and Night Terrors

643
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 Apnea01:21

Sleep Apnea

645
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...

Sleepwalking and Sleep Talking01:17

Sleepwalking and Sleep Talking

1.2K
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...

Teeth01:15

Teeth

1.9K
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Sleep-Wake Cycles01:24

Sleep-Wake Cycles

3.1K
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:

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Neurology
  • Sleep Medicine

Background:

  • Bruxism involves repetitive masticatory muscle activity, including teeth clenching and grinding.
  • Etiology is multifactorial, encompassing central (neuropathic disorders, anxiety), genetic, and local factors (posture, mouth breathing).
  • Sleep bruxism is frequently observed in children and not always considered pathological.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate sleep bruxism.
  • To propose a diagnostic guide for bruxism.
  • To outline management strategies based on etiologic diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis relies on patient history (anamnesis).
  • Examination includes assessing dental wear and its progression using methods like photography and dental castings.
  • Severity assessment considers dental attrition facets and associated factors in children (anxiety, ventilation disorders).

Main Results:

  • A diagnostic guide for bruxism is proposed.
  • Severity criteria for bruxism are defined, considering dental attrition and contextual factors in children.
  • Management approaches are multidisciplinary and etiology-dependent.

Conclusions:

  • Bruxism diagnosis is primarily based on clinical examination and patient history.
  • Understanding the multifactorial etiology is crucial for effective management.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is essential for treating sleep bruxism.
