The Current Trend in the Management of Bruxism and Temporomandibular Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue entitled "The Current Trend in the Management of Bruxism and Temporomandibular Disorders". Bruxism and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) present significant challenges for the dental and medical fields, impacting the quality of life of millions worldwide. The prevalence and severity of these conditions necessitate ongoing research to enhance understanding and treatment outcomes. This Special Issue aims to explore recent advancements and emerging trends in the management of bruxism and TMDs. It aligns closely with the scope of our journal, which focuses on dental and medical research aimed at improving patient care and outcomes. By compiling a comprehensive collection of articles, we seek to provide valuable insights and practical strategies to clinicians, researchers, and stakeholders in these fields. We aim to include a diverse range of contributions to ensure a robust and informative collection of articles, potentially culminating in a printed book form. We welcome original research articles and reviews covering various aspects of bruxism and TMD management. Possible themes include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Etiology and pathophysiology of bruxism and TMDs;
• Diagnostic techniques and tools;
• Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions;
• Psychosocial aspects and patient management strategies;
• Emerging technologies and innovative approaches.

We encourage submissions that contribute to advancing our understanding and improving clinical practice in this important area of dental and medical research.

We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

Dr. Luís Eduardo Almeida
Guest Editor
