Correlation between self?reported and clinically based diagnoses of bruxism in temporomandibular disorders patients
Summary The present investigation was performed in a population of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and it was designed to assess the correlation between self?reported questionnaire?based bruxism diagnosis and a diagnosis based on history taking plus clinical examination.

Failure to process dentin sialophosphoprotein into fragments leads to periodontal defects in mice
In this study, we analyzed the periodontal tissues from transgenic mice expressing the uncleavable full?length DSPP in the Dspp knockout (Dspp?KO) background (named ‘Dspp?KO/D452A?Tg mice’), in comparison with those from wild?type mice, Dspp?KO mice, and mice expressing the normal Dspp transgene in the Dspp?KO background (designated ‘Dspp?KO/normal?Tg mice’). We found that transgenic expression of the normal DSPP fully rescued the periodontal defects of the Dspp?KO mice, whereas this was not the case in Dspp?KO/D452A?Tg mice. These results indicate that proteolytic processing of DSPP is essential to periodontal integrity. (Source: European Journal of Oral Sciences)
