“…Nicotine is a chemically active substance that may be associated with motor activity (15). Sleep and awake bruxisms are masticatory muscle activities during sleep (characterized as rhythmic or non-rhythmic) and wakefulness (characterized by repetitive or sustained tooth contact or bracing or thrusting of the mandible), respectively (16).…”

Introduction:Caffeine and nicotine are two legal stimulants among the world's most widely used psychoactive substances.The relationship between these popular daily stimulants and bruxism is insufficiently investigated. The evidence on the association between these factors and bruxism is controversial. Aim: Our study aimed to investigate the possible association between using the most marketable daily stimulants -nicotine and caffeine, and self-reported bruxism. Material and methods:The study included 137 (n=137) participants aged from 30 to 61 years (Mean 47.08±0.59; SD=6.92) -44.53% (n=61) of participants were male, and 55.47% (n=76) were female. Questionnaires evaluated the relationship between cigarette smoking, caffeine consumption and bruxism. Results: Bruxism was associated highly with tobacco use. Smoking appears is more prevalent among bruxers (71.43%). The cigarette smoking was significantly associated with the bruxism (rho (137)=0.327, p <0.001). Consumption of coffee and caffeine containing beverages was not related to the bruxism (rho(137)=-0.096, p ˃0.05).Chi-square test for independence indicated no significant association between bruxism, caffeine consumption (χ2 (2, n=137) =2.391, p=0.303, phi = 0.132.) and nicotine intake (χ2 (1, n=137) =4.967, p=0.083, ph =0.190.) in terms of gender. Conclusions:Based on limited evidence in this study, bruxism was associated positively with nicotine intake. The association between the studied stimulants could not be neglected. However, there is still a necessity for additional evidence. This association should be further assessed in the presence of confounding factors.

“…The evaluation of the swallowing function was always performed by a single clinician (the author E.C.) with experience in the area, as previously reported in literature [ 26 , 27 ]. Lip strength detection was standardized and performed on each subject after a proper training session by the same operator.…”

“…Over time, differences were tested with a paired samples t-test for normally distributed data. In addition, data from clinical evaluations of swallowing were recorded as nominal variables dichotomized as corrected/uncorrected swallowing patterns, as previously reported in literature [ 27 ] and then described as frequencies of patients with corrected/uncorrected swallowing for each month of follow-up. For each test, p -value was set at 0.05 level.…”

Atypical swallowing needs treatment in order to eliminate harmful interferences of the tongue, which prevent the harmonious growth of the stomatognathic system. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a functional appliance on the presence of atypical swallowing, analyzing the lip strength and the altered facial mimics. The effects of a myofunctional appliance (the Froggy Mouth) were evaluated on 40 children (6 males; 24 females; mean age 9.6 ± 2.17) with atypical swallowing—with tongue thrust diagnosed by an expert orthodontist—before and during a 6 month treatment. Data were analyzed over time with a paired samples t-test for normally distributed data. After 6 months of treatment, 33 children out of 40 achieved clinical correction of atypical swallowing due to their good compliance, even at an early stage. Seven children showed low compliance and did not obtain any result. Lip strength in compliant subjects went from 190.30 ± 86.04 cN to 489.39 ± 123.36 cN (t = p < 0.001). Facial mimics improved in 28 out of 33 compliant subjects, and four children with the initial diagnosis of labial incompetence achieved correction. This observational study demonstrates the short-term efficacy of this myofunctional appliance in the treatment of atypical swallowing, achieving correction of the facial mimics and labial incompetence with a significant improvement of the lip strength.

Chewing is essential in regulating metabolism and initiating digestion. Various methods have been used to examine chewing, including analyzing chewing sounds and using piezoelectric sensors to detect muscle contractions. However, these methods struggle to distinguish chewing from other movements. Electromyography (EMG) has proven to be an accurate solution, although it requires sensors attached to the skin. Existing EMG devices focus on detecting the act of chewing or classifying foods and do not provide self-awareness of chewing habits. We developed a non-invasive device that evaluates a personalized chewing style by analyzing various aspects, like chewing time, cycle time, work rate, number of chews and work. It was tested in a case study comparing the chewing pattern of smokers and non-smokers, as smoking can alter chewing habits. Previous studies have shown that smokers exhibit reduced chewing speed, but other aspects of chewing were overlooked. The goal of this study is to present the device and provide additional insights into the effects of smoking on chewing patterns by considering multiple chewing features. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences, as non-smokers had more chews and higher work values, indicating more efficient chewing. The device provides valuable insights into personalized chewing profiles and could modify unhealthy chewing habits.
