Trends in dental visits among US adults from 1997 through 2019: Implications for policy reform
CONCLUSIONS: Relative to urban locales, rural communities experienced persistent disparities in the use of the oral health care delivery system throughout the 23 years measured. Strategies to create innovative models of care are needed to address oral health needs in underserved rural communities.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Policy is needed to foster a shift toward population health that will incentivize a health care system that reduces financial barriers and enhances health outcomes for adult oral health, especially for rural areas.PMID:38363251 | DOI:10.1016/j.adaj.2023.11.016 (Source: Journal of the American Dental Association)

Sleep bruxism: The past, the present, and the future-evolution of a concept
CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The neurophysiology of SB appears to be leaning more toward central rather than peripheral factors. There is increasing evidence of the role of the autonomic nervous system, genetics, and comorbidities in the genesis of SB. The scientific literature seems to refute the role of dental occlusion in the causation of bruxing movements. As per the literature, there has been a paradigm shift in the definition and genesis of SB and its possible dental implications and management, which also highlights the need for succinct scientific studies in this regard.PMID:38363252 | DOI:10.1016/j.adaj...
