Determinants of probable sleep bruxism in a pediatric mixed dentition population: a multivariate analysis of mouth vs. nasal breathing, tongue mobility, and tonsil size
- Pediatric sleep bruxism was associated with impaired nasal breathing, restricted tongue mobility, and tonsil hypertrophy.
- Restricted tongue mobility was found to be an independent risk factor for bruxism in children.
- Tonsil hypertrophy, restricted tongue mobility, and nasal obstruction may have synergic effects on pediatric bruxism.

Safety and efficacy of maxillary labial frenectomy in children: A retrospective comparative cohort study
- Early treatment of a lip-tie does not form scar tissue that prevents diastema closure.
- Treating lip-tie in the primary dentition yields present and future cosmetic benefits.
- Treatment of a maxillary frenum provides benefits to families with minimal risks.
