Abstract
BACKGROUND Three dimensional (3D) kinematic analysis based on motion capture can study synchronized data from the integrated jaw and neck motor system. Jaw function is commonly estimated on linear outcome variables of motion range. By combining jaw border movements in three planes the functional range of motion could be described by movement area and volume measures. RESEARCH QUESTION Can we ensure the accuracy, test-retest reliability, and intra-individual variability with 3D kinematic analysis for estimating jaw functional range of motion (ROM), including jaw movement area and volume and jaw and head linear measures? METHODS Accuracy was estimated by applying the method to a set of beakers with known volume, based on the percentage deviation and Pearson correlation coefficient between target and estimated values. Test-retest reliability was then analysed on maximum jaw movements performed in a pre-determined movement sequence by 17 pain-free participants (25.4 years ± 2.4) to estimate jaw functional ROM. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated, and Bland-Altman plots were constructed. Coefficient of variation (CV) tested the within session reliability. RESULTS The accuracy in volume and area measurements were high with a percentage deviation (0.03±0.59) and (1.2±0.45), respectively, with a strong linear relationship (R2=0.99) between target and estimated values. The test-retest reliability showed moderate to excellent reliability, and Bland-Altman plots showed good agreement. Overall, CVs showed high repeatability, but jaw movements in horizontal directions were less reliable and presented higher variability. SIGNIFICANCE The study with 3D kinematic analysis of jaw functional ROM, provides a methodological basis for accurate and reliable measurements. The study presents a new way to estimate jaw functional ROM measures, useful for evaluation in clinical intervention, for instance in pain and jaw dysfunction. Moreover, the natural biological movement variability and the complexity of the interplay of jaw-head movement will be emphasised.

Abstract
Recently, digital technology has been used in dentistry to enhance accuracy and to reduce operative time. Due to advances in digital technology, the integration of individual mandibular motion into the mapping of the occlusal surface is being attempted. The Patient Specific Motion (PSM) is one such method. However, it is not clear whether the occlusal design that is adjusted using PSM could clinically show reduced occlusal error compared to conventional methods based on static occlusion. In this clinical comparative study including fifteen patients with a single posterior zirconia crown treatment, the occlusal surface after a clinical adjustment was compared to no adjustment (NA; design based on static occlusion), PSM (adjusted using PSM), and adjustment using a semi-adjustable articulator (SA) for the assessment of occlusal error. The root mean square (RMS; μm), average deviation value (±AVG; μm), and proportion inside the tolerance (in Tol; %) were calculated using the entire, subdivided occlusal surface and the out of tolerance area. Using a one-way ANOVA, the RMS and +AVG from the out of tolerance area showed a statistical difference between PSM (202.3 ± 39.8 for RMS, 173.1 ± 31.3 for +AVG) and NA (257.0 ± 73.9 for RMS, 210.9 ± 48.6 for +AVG). For the entire and subdivided occlusal surfaces, there were no significant differences. In the color-coded map analysis, PSM demonstrated a reduced occlusal error compared to NA. In conclusion, adjustment occlusal design using PSM is a simple and effective method for reducing occlusal errors that are difficult to identify in a current computer-aided design (CAD) workflow with static occlusion.

Over-the-counter bite splints: A randomized controlled trial of compliance and efficacy. Clin Exp Dent Res 2020; 6:626-641.

Abstract
Background Occlusal splints are often used to curb the impacts of sleep bruxism (SB) on the dentition, and over‐the‐counter (OCT) options are becoming increasingly popular. OTC splints are usually fabricated at home by patients, but not routinely evaluated by dental professionals. It is unclear how OCT splints compare with more traditional splints that receive dental oversight. Objectives The present randomized controlled study tested how an OTC splint compared with a gold standard bite splint in terms of patient compliance (primary outcome) and efficacy (secondary outcomes). Methods Sixty‐seven subjects were randomly assigned to receive either the OTC (SOVA, N = 35) splint or the gold standard “Michigan” bite splint (MI, N = 32), with 61 completing the study (SOVA, N = 30; MI, N = 31). OTC‐splint subjects were required to fabricate their splints to clinically acceptable standards. Both groups wore the splints nightly for four months. Compliance was measured via daily diary. Efficacy outcomes evaluated stability, retention, periodontal health, night‐time rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA), and material wear. Results OTC‐splint subjects had difficulty fabricating splints to clinically acceptable standards. The number of night‐time RMMA bursts was significantly greater for the OTC splint group. Compliance and all other efficacy measurements were not significantly different between‐groups. Conclusions The results support the potential use of OTC splints for curbing the impacts of SB. However, the results strongly suggest that dentists should be actively engaged in overseeing patients' use of self‐fabricated appliances. This clinical trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, Identifier number NCT02340663.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are one of the treatment options used for the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). At present, MADs are designed with standard titration systems, without considering each patient's anatomical characteristics of the temporomandibular joint and mandible shape. The main objective of this study is to evaluate if a variability in mandibular morphology will influence the displacement of the jaw with a MAD. Such knowledge will be of help to find optimal mandibular positions with MAD even when opening the mouth. METHODS By using a mandibular movement model, the movement patterns of different points on the chin have been analyzed. The influence of different skeletal mandibular shapes on these movements have also been studied. The results show differences in the movement patterns of the lower front teeth depending on its distance to the center of the condyle, with a more horizontal direction in those in which there is a greater distance. RESULTS Variations in mandibular morphology imply differences in movement patterns of the analyzed points of the mandible. Consequently, MADs should be designed according to each patient's anatomy to avoid mandibular retrusion in those areas that may narrow the upper airways. CONCLUSIONS This study may help to understand why not all patients move their lower jaws forwards equally with the same degree of mandibular protrusion measured in relation to the teeth. These results might also partially explain why airway obstruction is more severe in certain untreated sleep apnea subjects than in others when opening their mouth during sleep.

Abstract
The present study aimed to establish and evaluate a method for recording edentulous jaw relations digitally without occlusal bases, using a handheld scanner and specially designed headgear. The headgear maintained the mandibular position. Ten edentulous patients’ upper (U) and lower edentulous jaw models (L) were prepared and scanned. A handheld scanner was used to capture the labial alveolar ridge mucosa relations in the upper and lower anterior arches directly (Dr). U and L were registered to Dr (test group). Complete dentures of patients in the intercuspal position were used to construct the relationship between U and L (control group). Differences in jaw relations in the test and control groups, in terms of vertical difference, displacement and rotation of the anterior and posterior, and displacement and rotation of the left and right were assessed using the Hotelling’s T2 test. The differences in the mean values and the mean of the absolute values of the jaw relations between groups were not statistically significant (P = 0.331) and significant (P = 0.016), respectively. Our findings show that it is possible to make digital recording of edentulous jaw relations by using a handheld scanner and headgear.

Abstract
There is a direct relationship between the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders of the temporomandibular joint and orofacial disorders. A well-elaborated analysis of the jaw movements provides relevant information for healthcare professionals to conclude their diagnosis. Different approaches have been explored to track jaw movements such that the mastication analysis is getting less subjective; however, all methods are still highly subjective, and the quality of the assessments depends much on the experience of the health professional. In this paper, an accurate and non-invasive method based on a commercial low-cost inertial sensor (MPU6050) to measure jaw movements is proposed. The jaw-movement feature values are compared to the obtained with clinical analysis, showing no statistically significant difference between both methods. Moreover, We propose to use unsupervised paradigm approaches to cluster mastication patterns of healthy subjects and simulated patients with facial trauma. Two techniques were used in this paper to instantiate the method: Kohonen’s Self-Organizing Maps and K-Means Clustering. Both algorithms have excellent performances to process jaw-movements data, showing encouraging results and potential to bring a full assessment of the masticatory function. The proposed method can be applied in real-time providing relevant dynamic information for health-care professionals.

Abstract
Some of the jaw tracking methods may be limited in terms of their accuracy or clinical applicability. This article introduces the sphere-based registration method to minimize the fiducial (reference landmark) localization error (FLE) in tracking and coregistration of physical and virtual dental models, to enable an effective clinical analysis of the patient's masticatory functions. In this method, spheres (registration fiducials) are placed on the corresponding polygonal concavities of the physical and virtual dental models based on the geometrical principle that establishes a unique spatial position for a sphere inside an infinite trihedron. The experiments in this study were implemented using an optical system which tracked active tracking markers connected to the upper and lower dental casts. The accuracy of the tracking workflow was confirmed in vitro, based on comparing virtually calculated interocclusal regions of close proximity against the physical interocclusal impressions. The target registration error of the tracking was estimated based on the leave-one-sphere-out method to be the sum of the error of the sensors, i.e., the FLE was negligible. Moreover, based on a user study, the FLE of the proposed method was confirmed to be 5 and 10 times smaller than the FLE of conventional fiducial selections on the physical and virtual models, respectively. The proposed tracking method is non-invasive and appears to be sufficiently accurate. To conclude, the proposed registration and tracking principles can be extended to track any biomedical and non-biomedical geometries that contain polygonal concavities.

Abstract
Previous studies evaluated 3D human jaw movements using kinematic analysis systems during mouth opening, but information on the reliability of such measurements is still scarce. The purpose of this study was to analyze within- and between-session reliabilities, inter-rater reliability, standard error of measurement (SEM), minimum detectable change (MDC) and consistency of agreement across raters and sessions of 3D kinematic variables during maximum mouth opening (MMO). Thirty-six asymptomatic subjects from both genders were evaluated on two different days, five to seven days apart. Subjects performed three MMO movements while kinematic data were collected. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), SEM and MDC were calculated for all variables, and Bland-Altman plots were constructed. Jaw radius and width were the most reproducible variables (ICC>0.81) and demonstrated minor error. Incisor displacement during MMO and angular movements in the sagittal plane presented good reliability (ICC from 0.61 to 0.8) and small errors and, consequently, could be used in future studies with the same methodology and population. The variables with smaller amplitudes (condylar translations during mouth opening and closing and mandibular movements on the frontal and transversal planes) were less reliable (ICC<0.61) and presented larger SEM and MDC. Although ICC, SEM and MDC showed less between-session reproducibility than within-session and inter-rater, the limits of agreement were larger in inter-rater comparisons. In future studies care must be taken with variables collected on different days and with mandibular movements in the frontal and transversal planes.

Abstract
Masticatory movements are studied for decades in odontology; a better understanding of them could improve dental treatments. The aim of this study was to describe an innovative, accurate, and systematic method of analyzing masticatory cycles, generating comparable quantitative data. The masticatory cycles of 5 volunteers (Class I, 19 ± 1.7 years) without articular or dental occlusion problems were evaluated using 3D electromagnetic articulography supported by MATLAB software. The method allows the trajectory morphology of the set of chewing cycles to be analyzed from different views and angles. It was also possible to individualize the trajectory of each cycle providing accurate quantitative data, such as number of cycles, cycle areas in frontal view, and the ratio between each cycle area and the frontal mandibular border movement area. There was a moderate negative correlation (−0.61) between the area and the number of cycles: the greater the cycle area, the smaller the number of repetitions. Finally it was possible to evaluate the area of the cycles through time, which did not reveal a standardized behavior. The proposed method provided reproducible, intelligible, and accurate quantitative and graphical data, suggesting that it is promising and may be applied in different clinical situations and treatments.
